People from Llanelli have been offered the chance to improve their skills with a new scheme.
Carmarthenshire Communities First has teamed up Coleg Sir Gar to run a construction course giving unemployed people the skills they need to gain a job in the construction trade.
The programme gives unemployed people a 10-week training experience, covering the basic essentials of a career in the construction industry.
The course takes place at Trimsaran Family Centre and participants will be taught skills that they can put into practice, including how to tile and grout and how to complete a plumbing project on a tiled area.
Communities First Family Learning Worker, Rhian Richards, said: ”This 10-week taster course gives people interested construction the opportunity to have an insight to aspects of construction industry.”
Communities First is a community focused programme that supports the Welsh Government’s Tackling Poverty programme. The programme supports the most disadvantaged people in the most deprived areas with the aim of helping alleviate persistent poverty.
