Applications are open for a new free training course for Hackney residents which could lead to a career in construction.
Building Lives Training Academy, Hackney, offers young people aged 16 or over a construction training course.
The 48 participants who prove themselves during the initial training stages will be offered a paid apprenticeship with Hackney Homes’ Decent Homes contractors Mullaley, Mansell or Lakehouse.
