About the Scheme
The Inspire Scholarship Scheme is organised by ConstructionSkills and was created to address recruiting problems within the industry due to a lack of suitably skilled and qualified staff. The scheme aims to match motivated students with employers who appreciate the benefits of engaging staff at an early stage of their career. Applications are accessed on merit and matched with suitable employers who make the final selection.
If you are shortlisted you can expect to be invited for an interview by a potential sponsor before being offered the scholarship.
