Construction Design & Build Technician – Higher Apprenticeship

To achieve the UK’s target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, it will be essential to transform existing housing with insulation, low carbon heating, and renewable energy generation. This shift is already producing increasing employment opportunities in emerging low-carbon sectors and zero-carbon homes. We’ll provide you with the knowledge and skills to take advantage of these new spaces, and make a positive impact in the built environment.
