Bringing an idea to life!

 

The Learning Zone is a work experience construction unit designed to give an exclusive hands on learning experience and insight into the construction industry. Our highly skilled trainers assist the programme to suit the needs of each individual.  Learners spend time finding out more about the careers available in construction as well on the job training.

We are currently working with schools to offer an inclusive bespoke package for learners with special educational needs. We are passionate about improving and promoting quality of life. Ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to explore working in the construction industry regardless of their differences.

Partnerships

Our goal is to create long-term relationships between secondary schools, colleges and training providers in our place-based construction unit. Through these long-term relationships we facilitate construction with built environment led sessions and activities, supported by industry skilled trainers. The sessions and activities can include an introduction to industry, curriculum-based lessons, work experience opportunities and support for applying for apprenticeships or further education.
