The Skills Centre has opened a new facility in Essex to deliver construction training and boost employment in the area.

The centre will provide a hub for local people to gain construction skills and qualifications, while also supporting employers to source a pipeline of site-ready talent.

A range of courses and apprenticeships are available, including Level 1 pre-employment training.

The new site in Brentwood is the tenth Skills Centre facility in the UK.

Ian Toogood, centre director for The Skills Centre Essex, said: “This new Essex centre represents the next stage in our growth and our commitment to delivering world-class, locally focused training.

“We’ve worked closely with employers across the region to ensure our programmes directly reflect the skills they need on site – so every learner who comes through our doors leaves ready to make an impact from day one.

“It’s been fantastic to see the enthusiasm from both learners and employers, and I’m incredibly proud of the team who’ve brought this project to life.”
