A CHARITY which finds, trains and helps veterans secure jobs within the construction industry is holding its Graduation Day on Thursday.
Building Heroes training is based at Brinsbury Campus, Chichester College.
The Spring Term Veterans are about to graduate and move forward into Civvy Street jobs.
A spokesman said: “The Graduating Veterans have so much pride in themselves and hopes for the future.
“It’s a very emotional afternoon.
“This term’s graduating veterans served in the army and navy at various levels and will all graduate with a Level 1 City and Guilds Diploma in construction and qualify for their CSCS card.
“Graduating is a huge deal for these veterans.
“With help from Building Heroes, most find employment or continue their learning journey.”
Building Heroes provides skills training to military veterans and support into employment in the building trades.
Its aim is to tackle unemployment amongst those who have kept the country safe by offering them a seamless transition to a new career in construction.
There is no charge to attend the course, although you may be asked to provide proof of your military service and/or employment status to ensure funding for the qualification.
