Skills gap

Contribute to cultural & historical legacy
The average age these days of a construction worker, be it a carpenter, an electrician or a brick mason is 47. This means that the industry is in dire need of some new workers entering the field. If the average age is 47, this means in less than 15 years those workers will be eligible for retirement, if not sooner. The world will always need new buildings erected, so the skills of construction person will always remain in demand.
Self employment – benefits of working for yourself, being your own boss but also make aware do not get paid for holidays, sickness etc
Contribute to cultural & historical legacy e.g. Olympics stadium and can be proud of building a structure that hopefully will still be standing in many years time
Construction industry is forecast to pick up by 2017 particularly as UK is short by million houses so trades involved in domestic housing will be needed. Also, other projects in the pipeline are HS2 rail project and Thames Gateway.
