Wiltshire's young people have just a few days left to apply for a number of paid apprenticeships that have been created by a major housebuilder in the county.

Barratt David Wilson Homes is offering apprenticeships in bricklaying, carpentry and joinery. The level 2 trade apprenticeship will take 18 months to complete and will allow apprentices to develop skills in their chosen construction trade.

Youngsters have until Friday, March 18 to apply, and successful applicants are expected to join the company in the summer.

Martyn Brooks, construction manager at Barratt David Wilson South West, said: “As the industry continues to face ongoing labour shortages, we recognise the valuable role apprentices play in shaping the future of construction.

“Our bricklaying, carpentry and joinery apprenticeships offer an exciting opportunity to glean valuable experience at our developments and learn how houses are built quite literally from the ground upwards.

“The courses are open to anyone looking to join the industry, from school leavers to individuals seeking a career change. We’re looking forward to welcoming the next generation of talent to our workforce and hope the region’s youngsters apply in strong numbers.”
