An apprenticeship is a paid job with formal training, making them a fantastic pathway for your child or student to gain practical industry skills, whilst earning a wage.
As a parent or teacher, we know you want your child or student to get the best possible start in their career and with so many options available after someone leaves school, it can be daunting when offering advice.
Kierriculum is a Kier developed educational resource that links school subjects with the construction industry.
It's designed to give anyone (teacher, parent or Kier colleague) the tools to deliver construction related tasks that link to school subjects. The Kierriculum resources include lesson plans, timings and lists of resources needed prior to the session.
Resources are available for all ages with worksheets and interactive sessions already planned and ready to be delivered in schools.
