From bricklayers and joiners to electricians and plasterers, apprentices bring fresh skills, new ideas and enthusiasm to construction businesses of all sizes.

Investing in apprentices today helps build a stronger workforce for tomorrow.

Partner with us. We are the North-West Construction Technical Excellence College meaning our students have training that includes better facilities, stronger employer links, and lessons designed around where construction's heading.

Listen to some great advice from our Deputy Principal, Anne-Marie Francis who was on BBC Radio Manchester yesterday.

Listen here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002zzrr (fast forward to around 2 hrs 26).

Anne-Marie said: "We have entry points in a range of different course levels so whatever you've got, go to your local college and talk to them about the opportunities - about the skills, trades and professions you can get into. Don't worry there will be something for you and doors will open for you."
