INEXPERIENCED construction trainees will receive a boost thanks to a new programme preparing them for major contracts such as the building of Heathrow Terminal 5.

Building for a Better Future is a pilot scheme aimed at providing skilled trainees with paid work placements. The project will provide a total of 15 skilled tradesmen or site managers.

Stakeholders include the boroughs of Ealing and Hillingdon, as well as Heathrow.
