The UK construction industry needs an additional 251,500 workers by 2028 to meet expected demand. With over a third of the current workforce aged 50 and above, the need for skilled tradespeople has never been greater.
The carpentry industry is thriving. As house prices continue to rise, homeowners are turning to home improvements and loft conversions as an affordable way of expanding their living space. Combine this with the Mayor of West Yorkshire’s pledge to build over 5,000 new homes, carpentry is a sought-after trade in our local area.
That’s where we come in.
Our carpentry and joinery courses are designed to give you the latest knowledge and skills in both site and bench joinery, so you can confidently step into the workforce after you complete your course. You’ll gain hands-on experience working on live community projects and train in industry-standard workshops with expert tutors who know the trade inside out. And once you’ve passed, our strong links with employers mean you’ll have the opportunity to secure an apprenticeship to launch your career.
Your career
The average salary for joiners in the UK is £40,500 and there’s even more earning potential if you decide to become self-employed. Many self-employed joiners take on private contracts and bespoke projects that pay more than working for a company, plus you’ll be your own boss and have the opportunity to grow and develop your own team.
Whether you want to work onsite, in a workshop or run your own business, a career in joinery course be for you.
