People looking for a career in construction can now get international qualifications through a four-day government course.

The course, offered by the Department of Workforce Development, will train people in safety to an internationally recognised standard.

Those who complete the course will get a National Centre for Construction Education and Research certificate and will have access to work experience opportunities, resume-writing workshops, and DWD sponsorship.
