Why choose an Apprenticeship

Apprenticeships are real jobs for anyone aged 16 or over!! You will be employed and start earning money from day one and the training programme is free (as it’s funded by the government) so there no is student loan debt to hang over you for years to come.

You will attend college one day a week to gain the underpinning knowledge and theory of your trade. Your formal college training, along with the experience gained in the workplace lead to a formal, recognised qualification in your chosen trade.

Learn from experienced people that do the job day in day out! See the job being done first-hand and then have a go yourself. The in-job training allows you to practice those skills to help you progress.

Most construction apprentices say no two days are the same, but each day you are learning the skills that will progress you through your apprenticeship to help you achieve your goals.

Help is always at hand, whether it’s at work or at college, everybody wants you to succeed. If you need support, help or just want to discuss an issue all you need to do is ask!

Apprenticeships give you the employability skills to progress your career.  You will learn to take on responsibility, enhance your communication and teamworking skills, understand time management plus learn many more transferable skills which you can take with you into any career.

Construction happens everywhere in the world.  Skilled construction workers are in high demand across the globe and your skillset could take you anywhere!

The skills you learn during your construction apprenticeship will stay with you for life. Whether it’s helping family or friends or working on your own home, your construction apprenticeship will help you all the way.

Your work will be there for others to see, and benefit from, for years to come. From building the footings to chasing electrical wires, your handy work will be a key part of the finished product and every time you go past you can say ‘I helped build that’.
