CONEL students hear from industry professionals about Green careers at Green Academy event

Industry professionals from Willmott Dixon Interiors and Falcon Green visited CONEL to give students support and insight into Green careers in construction and sustainability.

Students from the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London’s (CONEL) Green Skills, Sustainability and Careers Course and the Solar Energy Course gained insight from industry professionals at an event organised by the Green Skills Academy. 

During the event, which took place at the Tottenham Centre on 18 January, the students were able to learn about Green industry careers from speakers with valuable experience. They heard from Rebecca Davies, Social Value Manager at Willmott Dixon Interiors, an interior fit-out company delivering projects across the UK in a range of sectors. Also presenting at the event were Conrad Mahon, Business Development Manager, and Beatriz Rodas, Communication and Engagement Manager, from Falcon Green, a national specialist construction and engineering recruitment agency.

The group of 10 students completed collaborative tasks which strengthened teamwork skills and received detailed guidance on creating a professional CV and conducting a job search based on their personal objectives. They also had the opportunity to hear more about careers in construction and sustainability while learning about educational pathways leading towards related roles.

The students benefited from being able to network with industry representatives and discuss future employment opportunities.
