Employers urged to respond to high demand for construction apprenticeships
- 2006
- (CITB-ConstructionSkills Press Release February 2006) .
Since the beginning of the year, CITB-ConstructionSkills has received over 350 applications per week from young people wishing to take up apprenticeships; more than 500 enquiries have been received from applicants wanting to become apprentice carpenters or joiners, whilst a further 300 have been from those wanting a bricklaying apprenticeship. CITB-ConstructionSkills believes that many of the most focused and organised applicants are likely to be quickly offered apprenticeships both inside and outside the construction industry, leaving those companies that recruit later in the year with a more limited field of choice.
