CHRONIC shortages of builders, plumbers and plasterers are making it ever harder to build the homes, schools and hospitals we need.
But today we publish a Government-backed list of construction apprenticeships to help YOU learn a trade, whatever your age or background.
5
It is part of The Sun on Sunday’s Builder Better Britain campaign, praised recently by Women and Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson.
With thousands of young people out of work as shops and pubs stop hiring, the Government is pumping £100million into courses to help train the 12.8 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds currently not in education, employment or training – NEETs.
So now is the time to build YOUR career.
After we ran a similar pullout last year, scores applied for placements and the success stories included 18-year-old Brooke Knight.
She said: ‘It gives a skill for life, there are no college fees and you can earn thousands a week after tax.”
Check out our pullout for 110 jobs in all areas of the construction industry . . .

‘Opening for military vets and ex-offenders’
5
TO match the Government’s £100million for training courses, the National House Building Council is injecting the same.
They are looking to get more young people into construction, but also other groups including ex-military and people who have been in prison.
Roger Morton, Director of Business Change at the NHBC, said: “The industry needs more than 250,000 construction workers by 2028 to meet demand and build the 10,000 new homes we need. We need 2,500 brickies, 2,500 groundworkers and 1,000 carpenters and that’s why we’re investing £100million. We’re investing in 12 new NHBC multi-skilled training hubs across the country, to support 3,000 apprenticeships each year. We are targeting young people but also career changers, veterans, ex-offenders. We provide a unique, immersive facility where we can train people in 14 to 18 months, many with distinctions. That’s nearly twice as fast as traditional routes.
“We need to change perception so people see that being a trade is a great career. The average bricklayer earns £50,000, and they might progress to management, senior management, director. A colleague began as an apprentice and runs a 230-strong department.”

‘I love to learn and earn’
5
SHE is sleight of figure, so many think Tegan Pryor is joking when she tells them she’s a builder.
But having ditched a leisure-centre job to study bricklaying at college, the hard grafter is now backing our Build A Better Britain campaign to urge more young people to take up a trade.
Tegan, 23, from Shefford, Beds, said: “I started training as a bricklayer three years ago and honestly, I’ve never looked back.
“It is 100 per cent the right career for me. I was a lifeguard and receptionist at a leisure centre before but there wasn’t much career opportunity, it felt like a dead end.
“Now, I get to work outdoors and have a laugh with my colleagues – and I’m not treated any differently because I’m a woman.
“There is respect, and I learn something new every day.
“I’m on about £130 a day for an eight-and-a-half hour shift and some days it’s hard, but it’s also satisfying when you look back on what you achieved.
“The average wage for a bricklayer is about £50,000 a year and that’s what I’m heading towards.”

‘You can make £300 a day’
5
HE was toying with going to university but the prospect of three more years’ book study, and the debt, swung Lucas Robinson to learn a trade.
Lucas, 25, from Nottingham, did a two-and-a-half year bricklaying course at Derby College, while working on sites for his employer at £170 a week.
He said of bricklaying: “I’ve been doing this for four years and the company I work for is all over the country. Bricklaying is what you make of it. You can start at 8am, finish at 3pm and make £300 a day, depending on the deal. I’ve been doing ‘price bricklaying’ for a while, paid 65p a brick and about £150 a day, but I hear you can make £1 a brick in London.
“Eight hours is a long day carrying bricks and it can be stressful when things are not going right, but I love my job. My dad’s a bricklayer too.
“My mum wanted to push me down the uni route, but I decided on a different path and I’m so happy.
“Looking at a house and thinking, I built that and people are going to live in it, it’s a good feeling.”
