HTAE will host a construction demonstration day this summer in partnership with leading building materials manufacturer wienerberger UK & Ireland.
The event will take place at HTAE's Construction Centre on Nursery Grove, Hull, and will bring together apprentices, employers, and industry partners to explore sustainable building methods and emerging construction technologies.

The event will begin with a morning session for HTAE apprentices, external training providers, and staff, followed by a networking lunch. An afternoon session, running from 1pm to 3pm, will be open to employers, stakeholders, and industry professionals.
The demonstrations will highlight how construction materials and methods are evolving to improve efficiency, sustainability and building performance.
