Pre-employment Strood Cohort 2 begins

Our second pre-employment programme with Medway Council starts this week. With the attendees being successful through the enrolment day, they start this week on earning on what it takes to make it in construction. Our trainers will guide them to passing their Hleath and saftey level 1, gaining their CSCS card as well as other accredited tickets that will make them more attractive to future employers. We wish them all luck.

Hurlingham Academy Visit

Last Tuesday we visited Hurlingham academy in Fulham. We gave 3 presentations too 3 different classes. Explaining to the students about career paths in construction, the pros and the cons of the industry and most importantly that there is a career for any of them who wanted to give it a go. The students were engaging and very polite. The staff were professional and helpful. We thank them for their time and are more than happy to go back again.

North Kent Apprenticeship Event

Last Thursday we attended North Kent Apprenticeship Event at Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy in Dartford. Was a great day, at first, the students from the school had the chance to come speak to us and other companies then later in the event the last 2 hours was open to the public. Well run and with lots of chances to talk to students, teachers, parents and other members of the public about our alternative route to Apprenticeships. We had a very positive outcome in the event. Thankyou to Lara from Ebbsfleet Development Corporation for inviting us and thank you to Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy for hosting.
