British Institute of Cleaning Science invests in the next generation
1st of February 2024
The British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) has created the Cleaning Industry Careers Guide, a dedicated online hub that's been launched on the Youth Employment UK website.
Leading the campaign to encourage engagement from young people is Kelsey Hargreaves, the institute's youth ambassador and technical specialist. She explained: "I wanted to help make significant changes to encourage younger people to join the cleaning industry to inspire the next generation to consider some of the many incredible careers in the cleaning industry by helping raise awareness."
Having contacted Youth Employment UK, Hargreaves embarked on its Youth Ambassador programme to see how she could help other young people, which led to her taking part in webinars, results day outreach with students' parents, speaking at industry conferences and exploring the opportunity to create a dedicated cleaning industry careers hub on the Youth Employment UK website.
She continued: "I wanted to break down the barriers and provide people with a step by step guide to different parts of our industry and let people know there are so many exciting careers options. I have explored every avenue across different sectors to focus on ways to get young people involved in the industry."
The careers hub covers training options, case studies and work experience opportunities, alongside videos of young people already working within the industry.
