Pupils from Isca Academy, St James School, Queen Elizabeth's School and Exmouth Community College took part in Construction Work Experience Week, organised by Building Greater Exeter in partnership with Exeter College.
The Ted Wragg Trust, which oversees all participating schools, praised their contribution.
Moira Marder, chief executive of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust, said: “At the Ted Wragg Trust we believe education should open doors to every possible pathway, including through hands-on learning outside the classroom.
Experiences like Construction Work Experience Week are invaluable in showing our students the breadth of careers available and the skills they can start developing now.
Additional support and mentoring came from Taylor Lewis, Exeter College, and Exeter College Apprenticeships.
