Grant Boost....

[DHTiling]

Construction Skills has urged the construction industry to take on

apprentices to help maintain the country's trade competitiveness.

From the 1 August, the body will provide employers with an increased level

of financial support to be in excess of £9,400.

The CITB-Construction Skills Grant is to help them meet new Goverment
targets for young people in post-16 training and education.

Construction Skills says that only 28% of english and welsh school leavers take up apprenticeships-- half the level of european rivals such as Germany.

Apprentices are not only essential to the future of the construction

industry but to the future of the UK economy.

They can also be an invaluable asset to any company.

By offering a flexible resourse that can help any buisness grow, an

apprentice could be the best investment your buisness ever makes..................dave.....

Have you got an apprentice then Dave?Has anyone else,Hopefully in 6 months times if everything keeps going well I'd definately consider looking into it.It would be very beneficial to have someone doing the mixing,cleaning tools for me as he learnt,specially when it doesn't all come out of your pocket..

Handy for the bigger firms.

I have never met a tiler with an apprentice..............

Sometimes could do with an extra pair of hands, but 2 in the average bathroom is a bit tight.

Very useful mind Dave
