Construction Pre-Employability Programme






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.

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

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!
