Training at Elephant Park
In 2016, the Southwark Construction Skills Centre was opened at Elephant Park, a partnership between Southwark Council and Lendlease. The Skills Centre will provide construction skills training to over 1,000 people each year and, to date, has trained 11,000 people, of which 3,500 were Southwark residents.
The programme has now moved to Canada Water, however we're proud to say that over the course of its time at Elephant Park, it created opportunities for approximately 9,000 people.
While the construction Skills Centre was based on site at Elephant Park, the students were able to be trained in the heart of one of the country’s largest regeneration sites. With classrooms for study, a workshop for practice, plus an outdoor training yard, the trainees were able to gain practical, first-hand experience of the industry at a major live construction site.
BeOnsite is the organisation tasked with ensuring that local people gain employment on our site. They are an award-winning, national, not-for-profit company established by Lendlease.
If you are looking for a job in Elephant & Castle and can show commitment and motivation, then please get in contact with Danny Meaden our Learning, Skills and Employment Co-ordinator. For more information email: Danny.Meaden@lendlease.com
BeOnsite’s comprehensive and inclusive selection procedure focuses on matching local people to real jobs on site and helps individuals to understand what will be expected of them in both training and eventual employment.
BeOnsite look for people who may not necessarily have a high level of academic achievement or experience but who show a keenness and desire to develop a career in the construction industry. Once in employment, BeOnsite provide tailored pastoral support alongside specific training directly relevant to the job on offer.
Designed to meet the specific needs of the property industry, BeOnsite trains and employs a hugely diverse group of individuals, transforming lives and regenerating communities. They help tackle the poverty and disadvantage that blights some of our most deprived areas by generating growth and employment. For further information please visit their website.
