About G4C Wales
G4C Wales (Generation for Change) is a driving force in Welsh construction with a focus on the next generation of professionals who have an interest in the Welsh built environment. G4C Wales’ core idea is to harness the power of this generation to drive change and improve the way the industry functions.
Its goal – and this applies to G4C in Wales and right across the UK – is to become the organisation that is the driving force for change, through the development and connection of the future industry leaders. This dynamic ambition means that G4C gives its members access to innovative industry thinking, enables networking with a broad cross section of industry professionals and provides opportunities to grow and learn through initiatives and events which are free to attend. Whether you are an established professional or a newcomer, involvement in these initiatives will provide an understanding of the strategic development and future shape of the construction industry.
