Leading UK housebuilder Redrow today launches its annual report on attitudes toward apprenticeships and careers in construction.
We are pleased to announce that we will be welcoming 32 new graduates to our industry-leading programme in January.
Leading UK housebuilder Redrow’s second annual research report, Building better apprenticeships: Delivering skills to drive UK productivity, has discovered that the perception of construction as an apprenticeship pathway has improved with a 14% increase (62%) of young people considering a job in the sector this year.
Redrow, the leading housebuilder, in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) and Coleg Cambria, one of the UK’s largest colleges have established the UK’s first dedicated Housebuilding Degree. LJMU have also validated the qualification.
Today we announce our involvement in BBC’s latest series, The Nine to Five with Stacey Dooley. Aimed at school-age teenagers, The Nine to Five follows presenter Stacey Dooley as she takes a group of 15-18-year-olds into different industries that are hungry for young recruits, for the ultimate hands-on work experience, including on site at our Ebbsfleet development.
We have today become accredited as a Living Wage Employer. The Living Wage commitment will ensure every employee at Redrow will receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.50 in the UK, or £10.85 in London.
