Barratt Homes
Join our Trade Programme and you’ll split your time between real work on-site and getting qualifications in college that will help you become a fully-qualified tradesperson. If you have the ambition and determination, we’ll give you the opportunities to achieve more than you thought possible and start a career where you’ll always be needed. After completing an intermediate apprenticeship you may have the opportunity to progress to an advanced apprenticeship. You can choose whether you want to apply to train as a Bricklayer or a Carpenter/Joiner. Look at the video below to see what some recent apprentices achieved in nine months.
Whatever you choose, you’re going to have great options once you’re finished. You could go and work for one of our sub-contractors, set yourself up as self-employed or in some areas of the country work for us permanently as a qualified tradesperson. Some apprentices carry on training through our Assistant Site Manager Programme or go on to do one of our Sponsored Degree Programmes.
