Free training courses

FREE four week construction training course

Hackney residents aged 16-25 are able to take up a FREE four week construction training course starting in June 2011.  There will be a further course starting in September 2011.  

This course is being delivered by Woodberry Works, the training and employment arm of Woodberry Down regeneration, led by Manor House Development Trust in partnership with the award-winning Construction Youth Trust, an organization skilled at engaging, motivating and supporting young people to overcome barriers during their journey to work in construction.

Working in an empty property, participants gain valuable hands-on experience in Carpentry, Tiling, Painting and Decorating, Plumbing and Health and Safety from qualified and experienced trainers who have vital industry experience coupled with an understanding of the needs of young adults, including young women who are interested in finding out about construction.
 
Participants have access to employers, CSCS Health and Safety test, further training opportunities, mentoring, travel and subsistence and flexibility for lone parents.   There are also contributions from other Woodberry Works' partners including Lakehouse, REDS10, Berkeley Homes, Hackney Homes, Hackney Community College, Mulalley, Citrus Training, Genesis Housing Group and Hackney Council.
