Changes to CONSTRUCTION WEB's Project Staff
Tue 24 May 2005
One of CONSTRUCTION WEB's main objectives is to co-ordinate and add value to existing provision of construction training across the sub region – in conjunction with our partner delivery agents. The aim is to link those seeking accredited training with the variety of construction trade training available through the existing providers of the FE Colleges, or through the wide variety of CITB accredited provision.
Our role is to act as a primary agency helping any person unemployed (either registered unemployed or not in employment) seeking work or further training. This objective is delivered via our Approved Supplier Status with Job Centre Plus and links with other advice/guidance agencies – such as Reed New Deal, Working Links or local community/voluntary organisations.
This work has been led by our Employment and Training Officer, Bob Noseda, who
in March unfortunately moved on to further his career. Our thanks are due to Bob
who has over the last 6 months been the hub of our core role of acting as the
main link to advise and secure further training opportunities with construction
employers or a variety of training providers in the area. Due to Bob’s work, we
are now helping over 200 economically inactive adults from the NE London sub region
through preparing Individual Action Plans and then securing further training
opportunities.
A key component of this work is to provide help and resources to individuals to take the essential CITB- Construction Skills CSCC card Health and Safety test – a prerequisite now for any new entrant or existing employee who hopes to work on a building site.
Sheila Wright, Bob's replacement, will continue this work and look at ways of expanding on it. Sheila is now CONSTRUCTION WEB's main contact for advice on further training and jobs. For more information on these training opportunities, please look at our training pages.
