TClarke boss calls for investment in apprentices to be recognised by clients and main contractors, as the firm take on 180 new trainees as part of their apprenticeship scheme.
The challenges of this year has affected firms across the board, leaving uncertainty for young, up-and-coming talent who are looking to begin their careers. Firms that are investing in the future of apprentices are, in-turn, investing in the future of the industry, and are calling for the value of new skills to be recognised by clients when choosing partners for projects.
The worry for some is that if the construction industry stops taking in young talent, the billions of pounds invested by the nation in order to boost the industry will gain little return in terms of skills and quality jobs for the future.
However, it is good news for people recently graduating university or looking to begin their careers, that firms are willing to keep on investing in new talent, and ultimately expand on the resources that clients need in the future of the industry.
