Brentford FC's development partner EcoWorld London are offering local people the chance to retrain for jobs in the construction industry.

EcoWorld are working with MITSkills, a Brentford-based training provider, to offer construction training for unemployed residents that will include a work experience placement and a job interview.

As well as the new stadium, the Brentford East project includes the construction of more than 900 new homes, a new purpose-built location for Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, and a public square with shops and cafés.

Unemployed people in the borough are being given priority for training opportunities.

MITSkills have 20 years of experience in education and within the employment industry and will deliver the course.

The programme, worth £2,000, will last for four to six weeks and there are different options to suit different needs.

MITSkills are based in Syon Gate Way, Brentford, and are working to help local residents.
