GMI Construction is running a Construction Cares Programme, which involves a DIY Workshop. The two-day DIY programme will provide care leavers with hands-on experience and training in construction-related jobs.
The workshops teach valuable DIY skills, including bricklaying, joinery and plastering and is aimed at those preparing to leave the care system or who have recently transitioned to independent living.
Participants will be provided with lunch during both days as well as a toolkit and an award for completing the course, while all those expressing an interest in one of the trades will be given the opportunity of work experience later. See full details below:
- Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 October 2026 (10am – 3pm each day)
- Sheffield College – Construction Workshops
- Cost: Free, fully funded programme with no cost
Places are limited. Minimum age for the workshops is 16. If you want to book a place on this workshop, please contact GMI Responsible Business Partner, Brendan Tannam: Brendan.tannam@gmi.co.uk or fill in the GMI Construction DIY Workshops registration form.
