Laing O'Rourke has announced applications are now open for its Apprentice and Cadet programmes.

The four-year programme gives participants a formal college education, where they will gain anything from an NVQ 2 up to an HNC, alongside substantial on-the-job training, supported by experienced tradespeople and construction professionals. A mentor will work closely with each apprentice, providing regular feedback on individual development.

The programme was developed in conjunction with ConstructionSkills and is aimed at school-leavers aged 16 and over who have achieved at least three GCSEs (preferably grades A-C) or have a minimum of six months' work experience within the construction industry. Successful candidates must also be willing to work away from home during study periods and as specific roles require.

For the first time a small number of higher apprenticeships are available to candidates with at least three A-Levels (A-E) that will bring future engineers through the apprenticeship route with Crown House Technologies.

The deadline for all applications is 30 April 2015.
