Farrans has announced a new partnership with the newly formed Construction Society at Ulster University.

The Construction Society aims to connect students with real-world construction experiences through hands-on projects, networking opportunities, and skill workshops. The society has already surpassed its membership target for the 2024/2025 academic year, attracting students from various construction-related fields.

Rebecca Kincade, Head of Communications and Marketing at Farrans, recently presented to Ulster University students to highlight the range of graduate and placement opportunities available at the company. Farrans' partnership with the Construction Society demonstrates its commitment to supporting the development of future construction leaders.

Speaking about the partnership Rebecca said: "We are always looking at new ways to engage with the next generation of talent in our industry and when we were approached by the board of Ulster University's Construction Society in September to see if we would partner with them it was an easy decision when you could see the level of enthusiasm, creativity and ambition the students had, not only for their own career pathways but for those of their fellow classmates.

"There has always been a strong relationship between Farrans and Ulster University. Throughout the next year we are looking forward to welcoming the society to some of our sites as well as offering talks from our construction managers and civil engineers and providing support and guidance as the team navigates the first year of a busy schedule."

Hannah McSorley, Chairperson at the Construction Society said: "We can't thank Farrans enough for not only their support from day one, but also for the encouragement and guidance to push the limits on what we thought was possible, and the confidence to achieve it."
