One of the UK’s leading recruitment firms, Acorn by Synergie, is appealing to construction business in Wales and the South West to help people with convictions turn their lives around, and tackle their own skills shortages.
The UK recruiter has launched a new scheme in partnership with three Welsh prisons and HMP Bristol to offer those nearing the end of their sentence the potential to secure employment in the construction industry.
The Reconstruct Programme supports people in the last 12 weeks of their sentence, who have shown willingness and an interest in securing a construction role, to equip themselves with the motivation and practical skills they need to re-enter the world of work.
