Richard Nott, Website Director, CareerStructuresaid: “With the increase in tuition fees and mounting numbers of youth unemployment, students need to be savvier about their career choices. The findings from the Centre for Economic of Social Inclusion have demonstrated great opportunities for skilled graduates – and with junior salaries looking so promising in the built environment sector – it’s clear that more needs to be done to draw young people into these industries and away from those where recruitment has become saturated.”
