Level 2 Onsite Trades Foundation Apprenticeship

Kick start your career in the construction industry!

Foundation apprenticeships are employed positions and are for younger people who will benefit from a wide range of experiences. Each foundation apprenticeship provides a mix of employability skills and behaviours, technical knowledge and skills, and associated English and maths. It combines valuable hands-on practice in the workplace with off-the-job learning. The apprentice’s experiences will not only help them to grow their skills but will also help to inform their next career steps. Completion of this foundation apprenticeship will certify achievement of all of the technical knowledge and skills, together with all of the employability skills and behaviours described. The typical progression routes will likely include employment or progression onto another skills product such as a level 2 or level 3 apprenticeship.

Onsite construction relates to bricklayers, carpenters, joiners and plasterers. Onsite construction work is found in both the new build and refurbishment construction sector. Project size will vary, ranging from domestic repairs to larger contracts for home builders, commercial and retail developments. Employers and contractors vary in size from small, local family building companies to major home builders and commercial contractors.
