Project RECCE is offering a chance for veterans to enter the construction industry and for employers to demonstrate their commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and produce real transformational social value. Further to this, the construction industry can be prepared to receive a steady stream of fresh talent which has already honed its skills in the military.
A key aim of this proposal is to expand the courses beyond the North West, whilst continuing to deliver there. Each course will be for 12 veterans. There will be a total of 18 courses, leading to a total of 216 veterans trained.
