First Steps Future Training
At First Steps Future Training, we’re more than just a construction training centre — we’re a supportive space where young people gain the skills, confidence, and direction to build a brighter future.
Based in the East End of Glasgow, our centre is designed to give learners hands-on experience in real construction environments. We offer simulated practical training in key trades such as Painting & Decorating, Joinery, Brickwork, Groundworks, and Aluminium Mobile Towers.
Our training isn’t just about tools and techniques — it’s about helping individuals discover their potential. Learners have the chance to explore different trades, gain valuable insight into the world of work, and make informed choices about their next steps.
From age 12 and up, learners can engage with our programmes, progressing toward formal qualifications like SQA awards, CSCS cards, and Health & Safety certifications — all essential for stepping into employment or further training.
We also focus on developing the soft skills that matter: communication, teamwork, timekeeping, and confidence. Because we know it takes more than practical knowledge to succeed in today’s working world.
At First Steps, we believe in investing in people, not profit.
By supporting the learners of today, we’re helping shape the workforce of tomorrow — one confident, skilled young person at a time.

Our Aim
