Alison Seabeck MP and Oliver Colvile MP have paid a visit to City College Plymouth to meet employers and students involved in a pilot scheme which aims to encourage more construction firms to take on an apprentice.
The Pathway to Construction scheme has been piloted in Plymouth thanks to funding from the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), the largest trade association in the UK construction industry, and support from the Cross-Industry Construction Apprenticeship Task Force (CCATF). First year students from City College Plymouth have spent their summer on work experience placements with local construction businesses, giving the students valuable on-site experience and both parties the opportunity to see how well suited they are to working with one another in the long term.
