Preston-based property regeneration group Forrest is working on a scheme which guarantees apprentices work for the full term of their training.
The company has teamed up with Lancaster City Council, Constructing the Future Lancashire and CITB ConstructionSkills for the project which has seen six apprentices taken on.
The initiative, believed to be unique to the North West, is unlike other shared apprenticeship schemes which work on an on-demand basis and place apprentices back in the pool once a contract has ended.
The apprentices will be employed by Constructing the Future Lancashire, with Forrest and Lancaster City Council exclusively sharing the responsibility of providing the six apprentices with the work-based element of their apprenticeship, for the length of their course.
