Construction is a booming industry in the UK. The latest report from CITB predict that over 230,000 UK construction jobs will be created over the next 5 years. \u00a0Steve Radley, of the CITB, has said\u00a0\u201cThis positive forecast should inspire more people to start apprenticeships, and more firms to take them on.\u201d \u00a0<\/em>This makes it clear that construction an\u00a0appealing choice\u00a0for those embarking on their careers.<\/p>\n

Apprentices in construction are able to learn while in full time employment, have an average wage of \u00a3170 per week and are able to gain\u00a0\u00a0a nationally recognised qualification. Perhaps the real advantage of \u00a0an apprenticeship is, however, the opportunity to get hands on experience. This give you a practical understanding of the industry and looks great on your CV.<\/p>\n

While being an apprentice in construction involves a lot of hard work, the rewards can make it more than worthwhile. Salaries of qualified workers in construction compare favorably to those who have instead been to university (who will also have incurred much greater debt).<\/p>\n
