Ever considered a career in scaffolding? Most haven't, but Paul Napper is on a mission to change that perception. As the Head of Training and Education at NASC (National Access and Scaffolding Confederation), Paul joins Bill Banham on the HRchat Show to reveal how this overlooked industry offers diverse career pathways and impressive earning potential."There are people I know earning £100,000 a year," Paul explains, highlighting how advanced scaffolders, especially those working in specialized sectors like offshore platforms, can achieve significant financial success. But perhaps more surprising is the range of career options beyond the physical construction work. The industry needs designers, contract managers, health and safety specialists, trainers, and entrepreneurs – creating opportunities for individuals with varied skills and interests.The timing couldn't be better for exploring this field. With approximately 1,800 weekly vacancies in scaffolding across the UK, there's a genuine skills gap that needs filling. The NASC is actively working to bridge this gap through innovative approaches, including their "talent pack" with VR headsets that allow potential recruits to virtually experience scaffolding work, a talent portal connecting job seekers with employers, and partnerships with educational institutions to develop clear career pathways from entry-level positions through to university qualifications.What sets scaffolding apart is its global relevance. The UK leads worldwide in scaffolding standards through technical guidance documents like TG20 and TG30. Countries including Australia, Malaysia, Jersey, and even the United States are now looking to adopt these standards, creating international opportunities for UK-trained scaffolding professionals. As major projects like the new Universal Studios theme park in the UK and worldwide construction continue to drive demand, scaffolding represents not just a job, but a career with genuine security and advancement potential.Whether you're a school leaver, considering a career change, or simply curious about unexpected professional paths, Paul's insights reveal an industry that offers far more than meets the eye. Connect with him on LinkedIn or visit nasc.org.uk to explore how you might build a future in this dynamic field.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

It's May 26th. This day in 1970, Richard Nixon is hosting a group of labor leaders at the White House, where they present him with a hard hat. A few weeks earlier, in New York City, construction workers had attacked tens of thousands of anti-war protesters in lower Manhattan, cheered on by Wall Street workers.Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss how the events of that Spring realigned the cultural and political coalitions in American politics, with labor drifting towards Republican politics, largely along racial and cultural lines.Sign up for our newsletter!

In this episode, I'm joined by Russ, a third-generation tradesman, business owner, and host of The Talking Tradesman podcast. Russ has spent a lifetime in construction, a sector known for its tough culture and silent battles, especially around mental health. He shares his powerful journey, starting with his childhood, where he was raised by his father after his mother left the family, leaving Russ to grow up fast and take on responsibilities beyond his years. At just 17, Russ took over the family business, but behind his professional success, he was struggling.After a painful divorce, Russ was forced to confront his own mental health challenges, Through candid reflection, Russ talks about the toll of balancing work and mental well-being in a tough industry that can be lonely and often discourages vulnerability with many men developing problems with alcohol and drug dependency, aggression and depression. His own journey has pushed him to study psychology, volunteer with Samaritans, and eventually start a podcast that aims to open up vital conversations within the trades.Russ emphasises that many men do want to talk but often don't have a safe space to do so. He shares insights on why listening - truly listening - without judgement is a powerful first step in supporting those who are struggling. Whether you're in construction, know someone who is, or just want a deeper understanding of how mental health impacts those around you, Russ's story will leave you with valuable insights and practical advice on creating safe spaces for honest conversations. Join us for an episode that's all about strength, vulnerability, and the surprising power of simply being there.Russ's podcast is called The Talking Tradesman.

Compilation of every MONKEY NEWS segment from The Ricky Gervais Show PODCAST which came after the Xfm show. Once again, Karl Pilkington brings the most newsworthy and entertaining monkey or ape-related stories to his two best buddies, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who provide comedic commentary. This is one of Karl Pilkington's most beloved features. Monkeys are near and dear to Karl's simian heart. He spent much of his time during the XFM years sitting at home, looking up spurious monkey facts on the Internet. He would then share this unreliable monkey-related drivel with Ricky & Steve, who, over time, became increasingly irate at Karl's evermore outlandish monkey musings.

“The client's role is not to solve the problem — it's to state the problem.”What's the client's perspective in major cultural projects? What are “client user groups?” What's the difference between advocating for the client, and advocating for the project? How do you “inhabit your project?” How might a single gender-inclusive restroom project change an entire institution? Should every project have a “super contingency” in the budget?Amy Weisser (Deputy Director for Strategic Planning and Projects at Storm King Art Center) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “The Client Side of Major Projects.”Along the way: P.P.E., trusting the hiring decisions, and a 2,000-year-old Roman theory that still works today.Talking Points:1.
