YOUNG people thinking about a career in the construction industry had the chance to meet employers, hear about training and find out about real job vacancies at a special event held this week by the Notting Hill Housing Group, funded by the Chiswick Park Employment Trust.

Cllr John Chatt, Leader of the London Borough of Hounslow attended the event at 2pm to meet young people and hear more about the scheme. The event was held at the Worton Estate Community Centre, Unwin Road, Isleworth (Off Worton Road) on Tuesday.

The borough has a current shortage of skilled construction workers and the day is just one of the ways of encouraging local young people to think about construction as a future career.
