Hiring an apprentice isn’t just about filling a role—it’s an investment in the future of your business. For construction firms under increasing pressure to meet planning obligations, address skills shortages, and deliver social value, apprenticeships offer a smart, sustainable solution.
Build Your Workforce from the Ground Up
Apprentices bring enthusiasm, fresh perspectives, and a willingness to learn. By hiring an apprentice, you can train someone in the specific skills your business needs, helping to develop a loyal, site-ready workforce.
Meet Planning and Social Value Requirements
In many London boroughs, developers are required by Section 106 agreements to provide apprenticeship opportunities as part of planning permission. JBT helps you meet these obligations with ease, managing the process end-to-end while ensuring meaningful outcomes for local residents.
Save Time and Reduce Risk
With JBT as your apprenticeship partner, we handle the admin, payroll, compliance, and training coordination. Apprentices are employed by us—not you—so your team can focus on project delivery while we take care of the details.
Tap Into Funding Support
Government funding is available to support apprenticeships, reducing the cost to your business. Whether you’re a levy payer or not, we can help you understand what you’re entitled to and make the most of available support.
Make a Lasting Impact
Hiring an apprentice does more than benefit your business—it helps to build careers, support local communities, and strengthen the construction industry. Many of our host employers have taken on apprentices who have become long-term members of their team.
