Open Doors takes young people and career changers behind the scenes to showcase the fantastic range of careers available in tiling and other construction industries, with hundreds of events expected to participate from Monday 17th–Saturday 22nd March 2025. All types of construction sites, as well as training and manufacturing facilities, depots, offices, and virtual reality will take part.

Construction needs to recruit over 50,000 new entrants per year just to maintain current output, with staff shortages affecting multiple areas of the industry. Open Doors plays a vital role in contributing to the recruitment of the next generation.

The event, delivered by Build UK in partnership with CITB and CSCS, enables businesses to offer visitors an exclusive opportunity to experience construction workplaces and see the range of the 180+ different careers in action. They not only gain an exclusive insight into the sector, but leave inspired to consider construction careers going forwards – perhaps directly with participating companies!

Open Doors have published a countdown for 2025. Event registration is now open and details on how to become an event host is available on the Open Doors website.
