CAREERS advisors got experience of building work during Construction Week.

Connexions Advisors at Bishop Auckland College proved themselves to be quick learners by builing a staircase.

Dianne Crystal, Julie Wilson and Helen Whigham usually spend their time helping students make important career decisions, but enjoyed experiencing at first hand what it is like for young people in the construction industry.

For information about construction courses call (01388) 443000 or visit the college's open evening on Tuesday, from 6pm to 8pm.
