This support includes self employment, HMRC, and entrepreneurial skills so people can set up their own businesses something both BB and MTC are keen to do - Not only is the individual helped, but employers get input and advice as they work with us to help change lives. We are known on sites around London but also used to ensuring this is not intrusive - They will be working in the space ongoing to help all participants where needed
Bounce Back: Designing and Building the Space to maximise impact Support from the industry enables us to design the space in a creative and welcoming style with corporate support and sponsorship. Scaffolding furniture will be used to furnish the space and will be made by our participants With total flexibility the training bays are moveable to allow for changes in courses and numbers. This way we are able to respond to the different needs of the construction industry and create courses to meet these needs. We are very familiar with having ‘pop up’ spaces so understand flexibility Creating the space – a training project will be done by participants where possible. Working to change the space from a shell in partnership with JM Scully and/or allocated Berkeley contractors, we would ideally like our participants to be involved in the fitout as part of their training.
