Now is the time to address the skills shortage!
Now is the time to look to the future – are you prepared? We are hearing more and more about the increasing skills shortage that the construction industry is facing. This is a current problem within the preservation sector and will only get worse if we don’t address the issue.

Be Inspired with an Apprenticeship
Why not join the 83% who rely on apprenticeship programmes to provide the skilled workers they need for the future? We really do believe in the importance of providing appropriate and relevant training in which to build a career upon.
Apprenticeships are not just for those leaving full-time education and seeking a route into employment, it can also be a good step for individuals looking to change career or wanting to achieve an industry-recognised qualification while on the job! #beinspired
