About this course

If you're aged between 16-24 and not in education, employment or training, you could apply for our Building Futures Pre-Apprenticeship in Construction.

A pre-apprenticeship is a great route for young people who aren't quite ready for an apprenticeship or college or feel unsure about which route they should take within construction. This course offers a pathway into employment or further education, while bridging any skill gaps.
