Degree helps to fuel dad's career dreams in construction management
The foundation degree is a reward for the ambition of 35-year-old Steve Hallam, who spent three years training onsite at various Barratt Homes developments, receiving dedicated coaching, while also studying at Sheffield Hallam University. The firm was so impressed with him that, halfway through the course, he was promoted to assistant site manager.
He is currently working at Barratt Homes’s Hollygate Park development in Cotgrave, where he will continue to gain hands-on experience to fuel his hopes of becoming a site manager soon.

The course focused on housebuilding, construction law, technical design and commercial practice. Rob Hutchings, of Barratt Homes, said: “It is extremely important to us because it encourages future talent.”
