New sponsorship to help military personnel transition into construction careers launched

Building Heroes and the Worshipful Company of Constructors have signed a three-year sponsorship agreement to support transitioning military personnel at Reaseheath College and University Centre

This partnership marks a new chapter in a longstanding relationship dedicated to supporting Armed Forces Service Leavers, Veterans and Reservists into rewarding civilian careers.

The Worshipful Company of Constructors has stood beside Building Heroes for many years through donations, advocacy and continuous support.

This formal ACADEMY SPONSORSHIP now deepens that commitment, providing the financial security to underpin the charity’s longest-running academy at Reaseheath College and University Centre in Cheshire, and ensuring the continuation of vital skills training for the military community in the North West.

This sponsorship will enable Building Heroes to sustain and grow its Reaseheath Construction Skills Academy, giving service leavers, veterans and the wider military community access to high-quality training, practical skills development, industry exposure and tailored employability support, and crucially, the confidence to build successful second careers in the construction and built environment sector.

As the first academic year under this sponsorship is underway, the academy will continue to:

• Deliver accredited construction multi-skills training,
• Facilitate site visits and employer engagement,
• Provide mentorship and support individuals into long-term employment and civilian confidence.
