Prince's Trust Aids Youth Into Construction
Sixteen unemployed young people recently celebrated their graduation from The Prince's Trust's 'Get into Construction' programme with two completing work placements with O'Hare & McGovern Ltd.
Supported by the Construction Leadership Group which incorporates O'Hare & McGovern Ltd as well as Heron Bros. Ltd., H&J Martin Limited, Farrans (Construction) Limited and Harcourt Construction (NI) Limited, the six week Programme offers pre-employment skills development, accredited training and qualifications to young people who want to forge careers in the construction industry.
Ian Jeffers, Director of Prince's Trust in Northern Ireland congratulated the graduates and thanked O’Hare and McGovern Ltd and other members of the Construction Leadership Group.
Mr Jeffers said: "While the construction industry is facing challenging times, the fact that O'Hare and McGovern Ltd continue to support the Get Into Construction Programme is a testimony to their foresight in developing skills and best practice and encouraging our young people to seek employment in what is an exciting and rewarding sector.
"The two young people placed with O'Hare & McGovern gained vital hands on experience and were given a valuable insight into the daily operations of a building site. At this point one of the participants has secured a job in the construction industry and the other is returning to education."
