OCL Facades has announced that they have been shortlisted for two awards: their ‘Girls Can Build’ program in the Outreach Initiative of the Year category, and employee Michael Dillon in the Apprentice of the Year category at the CN Workforce Awards 2024.
Outreach Initiative of the Year – Girls can Build programme
This category looks to recognise teams, divisions or companies that have gone the extra mile to inspire people to consider a career in construction. Whether it is promoting science, technology, engineering and maths in schools and colleges, or mentoring work placements and new joiners or working with youth organisations or other underrepresented communities, this organisation deserves recognition for encouraging more people to consider careers in construction.
OCL Facades commented, The Girls can Build Programme is a brilliant new initiative inspired by the women at OCL Facades. The programme is designed to ‘PLANT THE SEED’ and give KS2 primary girls a chance to learn about the world of construction and the exciting roles that girls can consider to. With an aging workforce and male dominated workforce, it’s never been a critical time to engage with primary school girls. Our programme not only educates primary girls from the ages of 7-11, it inspires them to consider a role in construction, through our engaging content and upbeat delivery aimed for this audience.
Apprentice of the Year – Michael Dillon
This category is open to UK-based apprentices working in the construction industry who have demonstrated outstanding promise in their chosen field and can demonstrate achievements between January 2023 and June 2024.
OCL Facades said: “Michael exemplifies excellence in our estimating and surveying department and he is the youngest member of the team. His punctuality, hard work, and dedication set him apart. Michael’s contributions have significantly enhanced our services as a team and he is a well-liked member of the team. We cannot thank him enough for the energy and professionalism he brings.”
