A LDNY360 Podcast live from St, Martins Lane.

Construction is becoming a less attractive career choice. In episode 3, we explore; what really shapes a successful career — education, experience, curiosity, or opportunity? Andy Gibson, Mac Schimm, Stephanie Hughf and Andy Sneyd

This is what the data is saying.....'Construction is becoming a less attractive career choice.'

Over the last 20 years, construction's share of UK employment has fallen from around 8% to 6%.

At the same time:

• 70% of the workforce is now over 35
• Nearly one-third is expected to retire within the next decade
• Demand for housing, infrastructure, energy and defence projects continues to grow

So what happens next?

In Episode 3 of The 99% Podcast, we explore a question that sits at the heart of this challenge:

What really shapes a successful career — education, experience, curiosity, or opportunity?

Drawing on our own journeys through engineering, construction, consulting and business leadership, we discuss the role of formal education, workplace learning, professional development, resilience and curiosity in building a career.

Because attracting the next generation isn't simply about recruitment.

It's about creating an industry that talented people genuinely want to join.

What do you think has had the biggest influence on your career?
