CYP Now - Participation in Action: Construction training builds young people's job prospects

Hundreds of vulnerable young people in London are helping to regenerate their local communities while gaining valuable skills and employment opportunities.

Provider London Youth

Name Build-it

Young people with few qualifications or little work experience often find it hard to access training and employment opportunities, which is particularly the case for those with severe vulnerabilities.

London Youth’s Build-it scheme was developed to marry-up the need to help this vulnerable group find work with calls from construction employers for more young people to be trained for jobs in the building industry.

Build-it aims to give disadvantaged young people the chance to learn new skills and access employment and training opportunities in the construction industry by getting them to help with the regeneration of their local communities, with mentoring help from experienced tradespeople.
