New construction training scheme in Golborne

A new scheme to train young people aged between 19 and 24 who want to work in the construction industry starts in January 2022. The 11-week Building Lives Academy course aims to help people to get into an apprenticeship, job or higher-level training in construction or logistics - and it's based in Golborne Ward.

The course will feature instruction in construction, health and safety as well as on-site experience. Maths, English and digital skill learning will also be on offer.
