Bellway partners with Regeneration Brainery to offer opportunities in housebuilding to young people
Bellway Homes has partnered with a youth mobility organisation, Regeneration Brainery, which inspires young people to kickstart a career in property and regeneration.
Regeneration Brainery is an award-winning aspirational academy for brilliant young minds. Set up in 2017, the not-for-profit has worked with over 6,000 young people to date and aids social mobility among young people by introducing them to the workplace and helping address the skills shortages within the sector.
As part of the partnership, Bellway will be hosting a workshop at its Head Office in Newcastle upon Tyne – the first time Regeneration Brainery will have delivered workshops within the North East. In addition, work placements will allow participants to experience working in the business and allow Bellway to highlight the career opportunities through its Apprenticeship and Graduate programmes. Currently, over seven per cent of Bellway’s 2,800 employees are in ‘earn and learn’ roles, and this programme will allow the housebuilder to increase that number.
Heidi Khoshtaghaza, Group HR Director at Bellway, said: “Bellway is delighted to partner with Regeneration Brainery to offer work experience opportunities to young people who are interested in a career in construction. As an Employer of Choice, we realise the importance of encouraging young people into the housebuilding sector, and through this partnership, we are able to showcase the variety of roles within our business to a diverse audience, who otherwise might not realise the career opportunities available.”
Michele Steel, CEO of Regeneration Brainery, said: “Our new partnership with Bellway comes as Regeneration Brainery’s programme expands across the UK, and we work with more young people to open up access to opportunity through careers in property and the built environment. As a five-star housebuilder with a massive focus on finding and nurturing new talent, they’re the perfect partner to join us in our mission of a more diverse industry with more opportunity for social mobility.”
