The UK\u2019s unemployment rate has even risen to 5% for the first time in four years, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/covid-19-jobless-rate-hits-5-as-unemployment-rises-by-202-000-in-three-months-12199011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Sky News<\/strong><\/a>. However, the trades industry has remained open and thriving during this time, due to the need for essential repairs and maintenance. Plus, many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/home-improvement-trends-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>homeowners are choosing to adapt their homes to suit spending lots of time indoors<\/strong><\/a>, which is driving demand even further. As a result, we saw a 12% increase in the number of home improvement jobs posted on Rated People last year, compared to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you gain the skills that you need to get involved with the increase in demand for tradespeople, we\u2019ve teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accesstraininguk.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Access Training<\/strong><\/a> to offer our tradespeople 20% off their trades training courses, through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/save-money-daily-with-rated-peoples-member-benefits-premium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Member Benefits Premium<\/strong><\/a>.

This has contributed towards a 29% increase in the number of people registering for Access Training&#8217;s construction courses in 2020. Plus, Access Training hit plenty of other milestones across the board last year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Plumbing courses:<\/strong> More than double the amount of people registered for their <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accesstraininguk.co.uk\/plumbing-courses\/professional-plumbing-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professional Plumbing course<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Electrician courses:<\/strong> Over 50% more people enrolled on their <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accesstraininguk.co.uk\/electrical-courses\/professional-electrical-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professional Electrician course<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Female tradespeople:<\/strong> The number of female participants on their courses increased by 14%.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With tradespeople working in line with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/coronavirus-how-to-have-work-done-safely-in-your-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>government\u2019s safety guidelines<\/strong><\/a>, many homeowners across the country feel comfortable with having a tradesperson work in their home.
