Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to learn while you earn, opening up new and exciting career paths that can transform lives.

It’s been a tough year for everyone, for lots of reasons, and the focus of National Apprenticeship Week 2022 is ‘build the future’, highlighting the benefits apprenticeships can have on individuals, businesses, and local communities.

Leeds College of Building is at the forefront of apprenticeship development within the Construction & Built Environment sector. We have thousands of apprentices working with employers across the UK.

Whether you are an employer, potential apprentice or a parent or carer, you can find out more about apprenticeships by visiting us at our stand at the Leeds Apprenticeship Recruitment Fair (LARF) or by browsing the information on this website.
