You've mastered the basis, and built on them, so the natural progression is to put your years of experience into action to help develop future generations of construction workers. As an instructor you can help promote the value of training to those who come through the ranks. It's a great chance to give something back without necessarily taking you away from the site.

This grant supports the successful completion of a ConstructionSkills approved work-based recorder course.
