Eve Livett, CEO of the National Masonry Academy, said:
“Bricklaying is a career that offers excellent earning potential, job security and the opportunity to create something that will stand for generations. Our taster day gives young people the chance to experience the trade first-hand and allows employers to see how our employer-led apprenticeship model is helping to develop the next generation of skilled bricklayers. We would encourage anyone considering an apprenticeship, or any employer looking to recruit and train apprentices, to come along and see what we have to offer.”
