🏗 Inspiring the next generation: We recently welcomed 25 pupils from five schools across the district for a tour of our Centre for Excellence - our construction training hub on the outskirts of Lusaka. It was fantastic to see their curiosity and enthusiasm 🚀⭐️ The visit included: 📝 An overview of our training programmes and the Centre’s development 🧱 Demonstrations from our bricklaying and carpentry classes 👷 Inspiring stories from some of our recent graduates who turned challenges into opportunities The group included 15 girls and 10 boys from Grades 11 and 12 - many of whom are prefects and head students, and will return to share their experiences with their peers. This initiative is part of our efforts to support more young people enter the workforce, highlighting the diverse career opportunities available in the construction industry - for both men AND women. 🗣 One pupil commented: “I’m incredibly surprised to see girls also cementing bricks and cutting planks. They’ve blended in so well despite these skills being traditionally for men. I’m inspired.” Our thanks to the District Education Board Office for making this visit possible, to the dedicated teachers who accompanied the group, and the incredible students who took part with such energy.
