The construction industry has had for many years a traditional apprenticeship programme covering the craft occupations. This framework will help to attract, retain and develop talent into a range of craft occupations at Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) in construction building and provide progression to supervisory and management level in order to provide the industry with a well-trained productive workforce. Craft occupations for painting and decorating, bricklaying, craft masonry, carpentry, joinery, shopfitting, maintenance and woodmachining are carried out in either workshops or construction sites and within domestic or commercial premises.
