Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
Chameleon School of Construction have experience is delivering training to those not in education, employment or training, ex-Armed Forces, ex-offenders, drug and alcohol addicted, those with barriers to employment/training, as well as many more to help to move them closer to the job market and successfully seek employment opportunities. We have strong relationships with local Multi-Agency Teams and Job Centres, to identify those who may benefit from our provision. Chameleon has recently teamed up with Subby Jobs to create the Veterans Initiative. This is so that any ex-veterans have access to training that can be funded through our Adult Education Budget. We have had lots of interest so far and currently have one ex-service leaver who is based down South and travels to Swadlincote on a Sunday evening to be able to attend his Level 2 Motor vehicle course. This has been supported by Clive East at CTP, who has helped connect to dots to get the learner the exact support he needs. We are also an approved CTP member.
