How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
