A huge amount of building work is underway in Islington at the moment, such
as the Arsenal redevelopment near Holloway Road.
As well
as building the new 60,000-seat Emirates stadium for Arsenal Football Club,
the development also includes the construction of thousands of new homes and
businesses.
Another massive planned local regeneration scheme
at King’s Cross is likely to take 15 to 20 years to complete.
Many
smaller projects are planned across the borough.
All of this
means that there will opportunities for people to work in construction for
many years to come.
The council's regeneration service is
busy working closely with the construction companies involved to make sure
that they give local people the chance to train and get jobs with them through
a project called Construction Works.
There are opportunities
for carpenters, plumbers, painters and decorators, electricians and many other
trades - whether you already have skills or are keen on training to get into
the industry.
So, if you live locally and want a job in
construction, please get in touch with a member of the team. Contacts are
shown below.
