Young Apprenticeships

A Young Apprenticeship in Construction is a new two-year programme supported by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). It is aimed at capable and motivated pupils, expected to achieve GCSE grades A* to C, who would like the chance to experience workplace life in the construction industry in a supported way; and who will benefit from building a strong foundation before moving on to an Apprenticeship at 16, if that is what suits them. 
 
The Young Apprenticeship in Construction enables you and your organisation to become involved in shaping the workforce of the future, by offering able and motivated pupils between the ages of 14 and 16 the chance to get a taste of real work alongside their school studies. The Young Apprenticeships Guide for Employers explains how the programme works and the benefits to you.
