We are pleased to announce our partnership with globalbridge, an innovative platform designed to connect young talent with real career opportunities. We are excited to introduce this initiative to our members, showcasing how it can inspire the next generation and address the skills shortage in our industry.

What is globalbridge?

globalbridge was born from a simple yet transformative goal: to provide every young person with a fair opportunity, regardless of their background or connections. The platform empowers students to showcase their skills and achievements beyond traditional grades. It enables them to create multimedia profiles that include projects, videos, and personal highlights - offering a fuller picture of their talents. 

This approach extends beyond students. globalbridge also delivers data-driven insights to schools, enabling them to refine their support programmes and identify what truly works. Employers benefit from an innovative opportunity-matching system, bringing the right talent directly to their doorstep while fostering inclusivity and diversity within their workforce. 

Why it matters to the CEA

This initiative underlines the CEA’s commitment to addressing the industry-wide skills shortage. By connecting employers with the next generation early, globalbridge creates a fairer, more inclusive approach to talent development. For young people, it’s a gateway to careers within construction equipment and other sectors, showcasing roles that might otherwise remain hidden.  

Viki Bell, Director of Operations at the CEA: “The skills shortage in our industry is a challenge we cannot ignore. globalbridge offers a practical and innovative solution by connecting employers with young talent and giving students a chance to shine in ways that go beyond traditional grades. It’s an inspiring step forward for workforce development, and we’re proud to support it.” 

Jacqui Miller-Charlton MBE, of the Miller Groundbreaking dynasty, calls globalbridge “a game-changer for connecting young people with real career opportunities".

Shaping the future workforce

globalbridge goes beyond traditional recruitment by actively shaping tomorrow's workforce. The platform introduces young people to the wealth of opportunities in industries like construction at an early stage. globalbridge is already making waves across the construction sector and beyond. It is supported by influential partners and strongly focused on innovation. Collaborating with organisations like the CEA ensures its message reaches educators, parents, employers, and policymakers alike.
