The Mobile Training App is a simple and practical tool designed to support refugees and other newcomers who want to enter the construction sector. It brings together clear guidance, short learning resources, and a built-in chat assistant that helps users find information in plain, accessible language. The app focuses on the real challenges people face when starting out in a new country — such as language barriers, unfamiliar systems, or difficulty showing previous experience — and presents everything in a mobile-first format so users can learn at their own pace.
The app is intended for people who are new to construction or new to the counry and need straightforward support. It is suitable for those with limited language skills, low digital confidence, or irregular schedules. The content covers areas such as understanding the right to work, exploring common job roles, recognising existing skills, preparing a basic CV, finding training options, and learning workplace expectations. Visual tools such as a phrasebook, a construction glossary, and short checklists make the information easy to follow.
At the centre of the app is a chat-based assistant that gives clear answers to everyday questions about work, training, and settling into a new environment. Users can type or speak naturally, and the assistant responds with practical explanations and links to helpful tools. While it does not offer legal advice, it supports users in understanding their options and next steps. The app is also designed to be useful for educators, support workers, and community organisations who need a reliable, user-friendly resource to guide newcomers as they take their first steps into construction.
