Access to construction training for disadvantaged groups

Objective

This project seeks to develop a new qualification in general building maintenance and create a mechanism for ensuring continuing vocational development through up-skilling of individuals facing exclusion from the local labour market. Local employers are reluctant to access practical and financial support without specific assistance from a dedicated individual.

The project will therefore create that support by training individuals to develop a caseload of local construction workers. Twenty disadvantaged trainees will participate in two pilot programmes lasting three months each. A total of thirty excluded workers will be on the caseload at the peak of operations in 1997. Four transnational trainer seminars will also be organised. Full details of the project's results and the training developed will be published.

Impact
The new qualification developed by this project will be targeted at those facing exclusion, helping to make graduates more marketable to SMEs in the construction sector.
