House Talk Winter 2019

interested
in a career in
construction?
The last few months have been busy for the
Resident Engagement Service in Leigh Park.
We have supported several people back into
employment in industries such as care work
and security.
One of our most sought after courses is a
CSCS card. It’s an important qualification in the
construction industry. It proves you have the skills
needed to work in the trade. It also shows that
you are equipped with basic health and safety
knowledge in order to safely and efficiently work
on site.
Interested in getting into construction work?
We offer a one day course which runs once a month
(DVD practice required) or a two week course which
covers all aspects needed to gain your CSCS.
Both courses take place in Cosham.
The next two week course starts on 2 December
until 13 December.
There will be more arranged in the new year.
