Pre-employment course

Shane's journey into construction

Our Construction Gateway Programme funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has recently launched in the West Midlands and the course is already transforming the lives for many individuals.

To date, all learners have successfully completed the course and secured a guaranteed interview with our partners O'Halloran & O'Brien (OHOB), with many then pursuing a career at OHOB, one of the fastest-growing construction companies in the UK.

We recently had the chance to sit down with a group of learners, who had just completed the programme, and to learn more about the work they had been doing on site - meet Shane:
