As part of the recent Northern Ireland Apprenticeship Week (26 - 30 April), CITB NI took part in a range of virtual activities aimed at encouraging the construction industry to support and develop more opportunities for apprentices, as well as guiding apprentices to the opportunities available in the sector. Key activities included participation in Apprenticeships - a new world of opportunity, an online event delivered in partnership with Mid & East Antrim Borough Council and Unite the Union which discussed apprenticeships, the routes and opportunities. Also held was a CITB NI Women in Construction Network and Chartered Institute Of Building (CIOB) careers event for young women interested in finding out more about a career in construction, and there was a series of online video case studies entitled 'Where will it take me' showcasing a range of apprentices and their various career journeys plus the launch of a redesigned careers portal which will provide help, support and guidance on construction careers for students, parents, careers advisors and employers.
