Construction Apprenticeships.
Taking on an apprentice is a good way to add extra skills to your business, making you better able to compete for business. They are also an extra pair of hands that you can train to do things your way. Apprentices combine college learning with on-site experience to ensure the right balance of technical skills and practical experience. This means that you end up with a properly qualified and competent worker. When you employ and train an apprentice, you may be eligible for funding from the ConstructionSkills Grants Scheme. Direct financial incentives via the Scheme are available for registration, college attendance and achievement of qualifications. Taking on an apprentice opens up other financial support covering tuition fees, local travel allowance for attendance at college and lodging allowance.
ConstructionSkills have Apprenticeship Officers working in your area that can help you through the whole process.
