As part of Work Discovery Sunderland a group of students attended a Construction Sector Day, the day is based around three different sites in the city. Students attended Gentoo, Siglion and Sunderland College in partnership with Engie and Siglion. The aim was to introduce our students to the construction sector and the variety of employment and work opportunities within it in interesting and engaging ways. This included site visits and practical activities.
