At the end of April, we were delighted to welcome a group from Springburn Academy’s S3 class for a day-long visit as part of GROW (Glasgow Region Opportunities for Work). 10 young people, supported by youth workers, joined us to learn more about ng homes, the housing sector, and the wide range of services we provide.
The visit included interactive activities and a guided tour of our offices, giving the group an opportunity to meet staff from across the organisation. After lunch, the young people took part in hands-on activities, putting their morning learning into practice.
Following the visit, Eve Holmes, GROW Project Coordinator said, “Springburn Academy's visit to ng homes was really great. The visit was engaging, and the group really enjoyed the interactive activities, and meeting the different members of the team.” She added “The young people said on the bus ride back to school that they found it interesting to learn about the different jobs involved in housing, some of which they didn’t know existed beforehand.”
Greg Cann, ng homes Project Manager, added: “It was great to welcome local pupils to the offices as part of the regional GROW programme. As a local employer, we are always keen to raise awareness of the varied opportunities within both our organisation and the Housing sector as a whole.”
“The pupils were a pleasure to work with, interacting with all the activities we helped to facilitate, and we look forward to welcoming more pupils in the future, and maybe even seeing some of them as as employees, tenants or Board Members of the future.”
