New Initiative with the King’s Trust, DWP & Willmott Dixon

Helping individuals take the first step towards employment in construction. 10-Day Construction Ready Course.

Launching this July, the programme combines practical workshop experience with essential industry qualifications, giving learners the confidence, skills and certifications they need to begin a career in construction.

This July, Greenlight is expanding the ways we help people take their first steps into the construction industry with the launch of our brand-new 10-Day Construction Ready Course.

Designed for those looking to gain practical experience before entering employment or progressing onto an apprenticeship, the programme combines hands-on workshop sessions with nationally recognised qualifications to help learners become site-ready.

Practical Skills & Industry Qualifications

Throughout the course, learners will have the opportunity to experience a range of construction trades while developing the knowledge and confidence employers are looking for.

The programme includes:

• CSCS Card qualification

• Health & Safety training

• Asbestos Awareness

• Working at Height

• Manual Handling

• Level 1 Award in Construction

• Practical workshop experience across a variety of trades

By blending classroom learning with practical activities, learners will leave the course with valuable skills, recognised qualifications and a clearer understanding of the opportunities available within the construction sector.

Working Together to Create Opportunities

We're proud to be delivering this programme in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), The King's Trust and Willmott Dixon. By working together, we're creating more opportunities for people to develop the skills needed to begin rewarding careers within the construction and built environment.

These partnerships allow us to provide high-quality training while helping to bridge the gap between education and employment, giving learners the best possible start on their career journey.

Building Confidence for the Future

At Greenlight, we're committed to making construction careers more accessible. Whether someone is exploring the industry for the first time or looking for a route back into employment, our Construction Ready programmes provide the practical experience, qualifications and support needed to take that next step.
