Construction Pre-Employability Programme

Construction Pre-Employability Programme

THE WATKINS WAY

With over 10 years of training experience, working with a variety of clients and learners, Watkins Academy have carefully selected key qualifications, and hands-on experiences to bring an interactive Construction Pre-Employability (CPE) Programme to the South East and London.

Combining valuable industry knowledge with a passion for educating the next generation, we have been successful in helping leaners achieve new skills, experience and job prospects with many going on to pursue a career within the construction industry.

SOCIAL VALUE

Learners left motivated and excited about their future careers in construction. We are very grateful to the team for accommodating our visit.

Not only does the programme upskill and create opportunities for our learners, the moral obligation to contribute to social value within our community means that we are able to fill skills gaps with the next generation of construction workers.

“This course has been structured so you can train or upskill an individual ready for interview, with the necessary competency to give them the edge over others.”

SUCCESS STORY

Following our recent CPE Programme with The Prince’s Trust, we received this fantastic update from one of our learners!

Hi Roy, Hope all is well with you!

Just a bit of a life update, after my course with Watkins Academy I was searching for Health and Safety trainee roles and managed to land a job with a utilities company that mainly do Pipe, Gas, Electric works and I'm currently on week 2.

I have my CDM & NRSWA training all booked in as well as NEBOSH to be booked some point in the next few months.

So just wanted to definitely say I appreciate your training and advice, and the pipe workshop was quite insightful to help me understand what I'd be getting into!

Thanks again!
