This week the contribution of apprentice bricklayers from Harlow who are helping to build the town’s homes of tomorrow was recognised as part of National Apprenticeship Week (10 to 16 February).
The Harlow Regeneration Partnership’s housebuilding programme is creating apprenticeships for young people who are helping to build new council homes at Staple Tye.
On Thursday, Councillor Dan Swords, the Leader of Harlow Council, dropped by to celebrate the contribution GSQ Brickwork apprentices are making to the housebuilding programme and presented two of them, Jack and Ben, with their qualifications.
Councillor Dan Swords, said:
“The council is on a mission to secure investment for Harlow’s future so we can create more jobs and apprenticeships like our housebuilding programme is. It was an absolute pleasure once again to meet the local apprentices and thank them for their contribution towards rebuilding our town and building new homes for local families. Apprenticeships are so important in giving young people new skills and the confidence to build a successful career and we want our regeneration programmes to truly transform people’s lives.”
The theme for this year’s National Apprenticeship Week is “Skills for Life”. The week brings together everyone passionate about apprenticeships and skills to celebrate the value, benefit, and opportunity that they bring.
