A West Northamptonshire resident has secured a job in construction after completing a free training programme designed to help adults develop new skills and find employment.
The learner completed a Skills Bootcamp supported by West Northamptonshire Council before securing a construction role.
According to the council, the individual has already impressed their employer, who has extended their placement following their initial success.
The learner credited the programme with helping them develop the confidence, skills and positive attitude needed to succeed.
