C&D Consultancy to help 20 young people into employment

We are very pleased to announce that through a collaboration with Groundwork Greater Nottingham and support from the Big Lottery-fund Talent Match programme, C&D Consultancy is going to deliver specialist courses in asbestos awareness and NVQ Level 1 in Demolition to a group of young people in Derby and Nottingham.

The training targets 18-24-year-olds who have been out of work, training, or education for more than 12 months and who typically have a number of barriers to overcome.

Speaking to the Express & Star, our very own John Woodward commented,

"Our sector is crying out for young talent to come through the ranks and this is an ideal opportunity to get people to think about a career in this industry ... We have joined forces with the National Demolition Training Group, Groundwork and Talent Match to deliver these courses in the East Midlands and the first ones will cater for 20 people. If these are successful, we’ll look to hold more."

Matt Hanrahan, Employment and Enterprising Development Worker at Talent Match, added,

"The courses are a greater taster to the world of demolition and, importantly, gives our participants the opportunity to gain employment in a sector that is thriving and full of opportunities ... C&D Consultancy were chosen due to their expertise, track record in this specific industry and the style of their trainers, which gets the best out of people."
