Volunteers from across WDH joined forces to dish out career support and guidance to young people as part of Aspirations Week.

Over 30 apprentices are currently completing an apprenticeship with us and each of them has the support of a mentor, to provide valuable advice and support in their chosen trade.

We work with schools across the district to promote the benefits of apprenticeships, so when Castleford Academy approached us and asked if could help support groups of Year 11 students we welcomed the opportunity to show what apprenticeships with us are all about.

A job in the trades at WDH can lead to a bright future and a successful career, whichever route you take.

Applications for our 2019 Apprenticeships will open on Monday 4 March, kicking of Apprenticeship Week.

WDH will be attending the district’s biggest Careers Fair at Pontefract Park on Tuesday 25 September from 10 am to 6:30 pm. Young people from across Wakefield will be invited to help them consider their options.

As part of WDH’s 2017 apprenticeship scheme, we are proud to welcome six new apprentices.

With National Apprentice Week having just taken place, and WDH’s scheme gaining awareness online with our post advertising apprenticeships reaching 44,000 people in 3 days, now seems like a good time to look at the role that apprenticeship schemes are playing across the country and assess how we can move forward in this area following new government policies.

WDH have teamed up with Castleford Academy to offer the first of their Girls into Construction taster sessions at The Store, WDH’s purpose built supply store and training facility in Normanton.

As part of WDH’s 2016 apprenticeship scheme, we are proud to welcome 10 new apprentices.
