Northumbria Construct joined the Northumbria University Students’ Union Societies Fair, welcoming new and returning students from different disciplines to explore professional development, industry engagement and collaborative learning.

Committee members and volunteers discussed networking, volunteering, site visits, seminars and the value of joining professional communities while studying. Students were introduced to APM, CIOB and ICE; support from APM enabled the stand to offer student membership information and resources.

Continuing the Bridge the Gap mission

The fair sustained the founding project’s ambition to improve construction career awareness and strengthen student–industry engagement. We welcomed new members and students interested in contributing to projects, practical learning and professional networks.

Our thanks go to Callum O’Connor, Zaw Min Htet and Aditya Shetty for representing Northumbria Construct, and to Michelle Littlemore and Robin Carter-Evans for facilitating APM student membership resources. We thank Northumbria Students’ Union for organising the fair and every student who visited the stand.
