Why this sector could be for you
Working in housing, regeneration and developments makes a real impact on communities in London. You will be able to see first hand the results of your work.

This could be supporting vulnerable people to access housing, delivering new public spaces that support health and wellbeing, developing and delivering changes in policy that support better transport or being involved in the delivery of new buildings that revitalise an area and provide real opportunities for employment to the local community.

The career opportunities in this sector are widespread. There are substantial skills gaps in housing, regeneration, development and infrastructure.

The lack of ethnic diversity of professionals and managers is seen by many employers in this sector as a major challenge in delivering the needs of Londoners.

The opportunity
The Emerging Talent Programme will give you a unique foundation for a successful career in the built environment sector:

• 15 months employment at a salary of £28,000pa

- two placements - one for nine months, then one for six months - working full time
- experience in two different types of organisation giving you insight into different professional and managerial careers
- a series of regular training days, exclusive to you and your peers on the programme.
support from a mentor who is an established professional in the sector
- active support and guidance from Future of London in identifying and securing a role to start after completing the programme
- regular opportunities to broaden your sector knowledge and professional network through attending Future of London's industry events
