BSRIA<\/a> is celebrating National Apprenticeship Week 2018 (NAW 2018) \u2013 running from 5-9 March 2018 \u2013 which brings together employers and apprentices from across England to celebrate the success of apprenticeships<\/h2>\n

The theme of National Apprenticeship Week 2018 is \u2018Apprenticeships Work\u2019 and showcases how apprenticeships work for individuals, employers, local communities and the wider economy.<\/p>\n

Julia Evans, Chief Executive, BSRIA<\/a>, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the housing industry set to receive \u00a344bn in financial incentives to increase supply to 300,000 new homes a year by the mid-2020s, the biggest annual increase in housing supply since 1970, construction and engineering apprentices are crucial.<\/p>\n

\u201cApprenticeships attract diverse talent and ensure industry is future proofed. They can deliver improved productivity, employee retention and bring new ideas and ways of working into the workplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also help communities by creating a stronger and fairer economy where lives are transformed and people can fulfil their potential. Indeed, apprenticeships are especially essential for up-and-coming builders to get into the workplace: we hope this week can highlight the importance of such crucial careers and trades.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to change the image of our industry and make it a more attractive career proposition. BSRIA is calling for the focus to shift from one of being a \u2018construction industry\u2019 to one focused on \u2018the built environment\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the major threats to housing building is the skills shortage in construction<\/a>. And the need to curtail the skills gap and attract more people into construction careers<\/a> is more essential than ever since Brexit, as many of BSRIA\u2019s members \u2013 and the wider industry \u2013 rely on skilled workers from Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn apprenticeship can take you anywhere and young people<\/a>, engineers and entrepreneurs alike can rise to the top through traineeships and apprenticeships.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spirit of National Apprenticeship Week 2018 fits in well with BSRIA\u2019s INSPIRE project which is working with local schools, national and local politicians and the media to promote STEM and change its perceptions.<\/p>\n
