Sheffield Hallam University
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge
Our mission is simple: we transform lives.
It is driven by a purpose to transform lives and an ambition to be a world-leading university, built on a culture of collaboration, inclusion and sustainability.
Sheffield Hallam supports its students to achieve excellent outcomes and fulfil their potential, whatever their background and from wherever their Hallam journey begins, so that all students succeed and thrive.
The University's award-winning teaching, research and partnerships are characterised by a focus on real world impact at a regional, national and global level – addressing the health, economic and social challenges facing society today.
"Sheffield Hallam University is one of the UK’s largest and most diverse universities with a community of over 32,000 students, 4,200 staff and 330,000 alumni around the globe.
We are proud to support The Big Construction Diversity Challenge as it directly aligns with our commitment to widening participation, championing equality, diversity and inclusion, and preparing future talent for a more representative Construction and Built Environment sector.
The event brings together a cross-section of industry leaders to showcase how diverse perspectives drive innovation, collaboration and sustainable progress across construction. By supporting this initiative, Sheffield Hallam can strengthen its role as a civic university that actively connects education with industry, helping to break down barriers to entry and inspire underrepresented groups to explore careers in construction.
The Challenge also provides valuable opportunities to build employer partnerships, share best practice, and position the University as a proactive contributor to addressing national skills shortages and workforce diversity challenges."
