Portugal is diverse , has a unique culture, with vibrant cities and spectacular scenery throughout the country. Although it was once one of the poorest countries in Western Europe, since the introduction of Democracy in 1974, and incorporation into the European Union in 1986, it has significantly increased it’s prosperity. It may be one of the best value destinations in Europe because the country offers outstanding landscape diversity, due to its North-South disposition along the western shore of the Iberian peninsula which is adjacent to Spain. In one day you can be in the green mountains of the North, with vines and all varieties of trees to the central rocky mountains, with spectacular slopes and waterfalls, to a near-desert and arid landscape of the Alentejo region and then to the vibrant beach vacation destination of Algarve. The climate, combined with investments in the tourism infrastructure in recent years, has also turned the country into a major haven. Golf is superb in Portugal. 14 of Portugal's golf courses are rated in the top 100 best in Europe. If you want a compact view of Europe, culture, landscape and way of life, Portugal might be the one.

ConstructionSkills - employment training

Making money online not working out? Looking for an offline job? How about the construction industry? There is a website based in the UK called ConstructionSkills which offers construction employment training.
Construction is the UK's biggest industry. There are 700 different types of jobs with around 2 million construction workers and there is always a demand for more workers.
For employers, taking on an apprentice helps benefit the business by developing new talent while still getting work done.
For a person with little experience, becoming an apprentice lets you earn while working and learning new skills.
An experienced person can prove and enhance their skills by gaining a qualification and CSS card through On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT) or Experience Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA). By the way, you need a CSS card in order to work construction in the UK. If you don't have a card, many sites won't let you work. 2010 is the goal for the UK to have a fully qualified workforce, so no card, no work.
There are many different providers who offer construction related training. There is even a National Construction College.
If you are in the UK and looking for a new line of work, construction might be worth looking into.
