Can you help us understand the current landscape of schools engagement?

This short survey (10 questions) is designed to gather information from the construction industry about schools engagement and outreach commitments in the UK. The information is being gathered by UK Construction Week and Built Environment Skills in Schools, and will form the basis of published research.
