A MAYOR has met with teenagers who want to join construction courses at a training centre.

Mayor of Greenwich Allan McCarthy attended an induction day along with more than 30 potential candidates at the flower skills and training construction centre on Woolwich Road, Charlton.

Applicants aged 16 and over toured the training centre, tried out the equipment and spoke to tutors.

Flower skills and training has been one of Greenwich community college’s partners since 2007, offering six-month courses.

Together they deliver intermediate and Level one construction diplomas in plastering, painting and decorating and carpentry and joinery.

Mr McCarthy said: “The facilities at flower skills and training are very impressive and I wish the current and future students every success in their chosen career path”.

Life skills and student support manager, Jason Bodimeade, said: “We are dedicated to offer construction skills courses to Greenwich residents, which will allow them to progress into employment in the industry.”
