Construction, Building Trades and Civil Engineering
The construction industry is in global demand and moving fast! Everywhere you look something is being built, being fixed. But as the demand for construction increases, so does the demand for skilled workers.
As one of our students, not only will you learn the most sustainable construction methods in joinery, brickwork, painting and decorating, civil engineering, plumbing and electrical installation in our industry-standard facilities, but you will also develop your business skills to give you the opportunity to become self-employed in the future.
If you enjoy practical work and seeing projects through from start to finish then a career in this sector could be for you!
