Building trade taster rolls out to Trimsaran
People living in Trimsaran and Burry Port may be among the next to benefit from a unique project offering a taster of the building trade.
Building Your Own Future in Sir Gar, which is run in partnership by Carmarthenshire County Council’s Property Services division, Communities First, Coleg Sir Gar and Carmarthenshire Construction and Training Association Ltd (CCTAL), offers community-based taster courses covering topics including carpentry, plumbing, tiling and plastering.
Run over a period of six weeks, participants can gain practical basic skills in order to tackle simple DIY jobs at home, as well as getting a taste of what it would be like to take part in a construction course at college.
They will also help take part in a carpentry-based project for donation to their local community and visit a local construction project to see qualified tradesmen at work.
The project is currently being run in Communities First areas with funding secured from the Swansea Bay Deprived Area Fund (DAF).
Further funding is currently being sought to roll the project out to other areas of Carmarthenshire, including Trimsaran and Burry Port.
If project officers are successful in securing the funding, the project may run in these areas over the coming months.
Those interested in putting their names down on a register of interest for the course can contact project administrator Emma Sadler on 01554 748630.
