Clare spoke about the diverse and rewarding career paths within the construction industry. With the significant regeneration taking place in Barking & Dagenham, there are exciting opportunities for young people to contribute to shaping the future of our borough. We would like to thank Clare for sharing her insights and encouraging our students to consider construction as a potential career path.
