Colin Hastie architect and director of Bruach Design & Consultancy kindly offered to support Ayrshire schools by recording a Virtual Volumes video detailing his career pathway, providing an insight into the construction industry and the role of an architect within the industry. Our young people get a real feel of what it takes to become an architect and the broad opportunities within the profession. Colin also created a Virtual Challenge that can be completed in class or during home learning. The challenge is for young people to design a home for a client with various stipulations that must be incorporated into the design.
This has been a great resource for our Ayrshire teachers. Directly relating topics in the curriculum with career types is key for motivating our young people into career routes they will enjoy and will find success in during their working lives.
