A word with the director
“Here at SCSC, we have trained hundreds of people from all over London since opening in 2016, and have helped them start their new careers in construction.
With so many big construction projects going on in and around Southwark at the moment, we think it’s important that the local community benefits from these job opportunities as much as possible and so we are looking to help secure local training and jobs, for local people.
The range of opportunities in construction may surprise some people – come along to find out. No previous experience is required as we have a programme of pre-employability training to get people started on their new career in construction.”
John White MBE, Director of Southwark Construction Skills Centre (SCSC)
This event is supported by The Skills Centre, London Borough of Southwark, Big Local Works and Blue Bermondsey BID
