Hello, I would start to work in construction. But I don’t have experience. I’m 19 years. Currently, I finished the high school. Can you recommend where to start?

I'm a plumber with 8 years experience. For 6 years I‘ve worked in a construction company but since 2012 I am working as independent. As the sector is recovering I wanted to return to work in a company. Do you know of a company that is looking for plumbers?

Most people working as a Labourer learn their skills and knowledge through apprenticeship schemes, including GCSE´s in English, Math, Technology, and Design. Most employers require previous work experience, so it is recommended to have experience in other projects before application for a new job. This area also has college courses including City & Guilds Basic Skills in Construction award, Intermediate and Advanced Construction Award, and Edexcel First Diploma in Construction.

There are on-the-job training schemes that provide NVQ qualifications in Construction and Civil Engineering Services at levels 1 and 2. Other options available are drainage construction, excavation holes and trenches, laying kerbs and channels, and concreting.
