In fact, it\u2019s expected that over <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apprenticeshipguide.co.uk\/apprenticeship-by-industry-sector\/construction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>220,000 construction jobs will be created in the next 5 years<\/strong><\/a>, so now\u2019s a great time to consider apprenticeship schemes for your next recruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apprenticeships in construction are popular and a common route into the industry. They can help you find passionate people who can be shaped into key members of your team, all with little upfront investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While apprenticeships are adopted by many construction businesses, smaller companies might shy away from apprenticeships because they\u2019re concerned about the time it takes to train someone up, the cost of doing so, and any red tape associated with the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is it\u2019s a lot easier than you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2018\/04\/apprentice-construction-1.jpg\" alt=\"apprentice bricklayer\" class=\"wp-image-28067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2018\/04\/25144153\/apprentice-construction-1.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2018\/04\/25144153\/apprentice-construction-1-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will an apprentice help my business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional and specialist apprenticeships are common across occupations in construction, ranging from groundworks and bricklaying, to joinery and plumbing. What\u2019s more, because they understand that you\u2019re investing in them, apprentices are frequently praised for being loyal, and keen to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fresh perspectives apprentices can bring also help keep your business current and in-touch, invigorated by valuable new ideas or concepts. Combine that with funding for bespoke training, and you\u2019ve got a tried-and-tested way of filling a skills gap within your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If eligible, it\u2019s also possible for an existing employee to enrol in an apprenticeship with you, meaning you can take advantage of this cost-effective way to support their progress while driving your business forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/th0Q4oa2NIo\" width=\"766\" height=\"431\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Funding options for hiring an apprentice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government is keen to promote apprenticeships and has put resources in place to make this a rewarding and affordable option for employers.
