The construction industry is a very appealing industry to work in right now, not only is the work varied, rewarding and well paid, you are using skills that are very valuable in the world of work. Having a trade is essential because of the high unemployment rates caused by the recession. If you can learn a trade and get one step above the other candidates going for jobs you want, then why not do it as soon as possible?

This article will discuss ways to get started in the construction industry: — Get onto a good course: just reading about construction won’t just make you a very boring person to talk to at the pub, it will leave you falling far short of the standards and trade skills required to get into the industry. There are some fantastic vocational training courses out there. These courses will teach you all of the theory behind elements of the construction industry but they will also give you a chance to go out and use your skills in a real world environment. Tradesman courses are underrated, especially when all you hear is that A Levels are the only real way to educate yourself. However having a trade is so essential these days, and practical qualifications are the only way to get there. — Get your employer to sponsor you on a staff training course if you don’t have the right qualifications. Everybody wins, you get a recognised qualification and your employer gets a much more diverse member of staff who will be able to enter the construction industry properly. — Get advice, do you know anyone in the construction industry? Speak to them, find out what they did to get where they are, and also find out from speaking to them if it really is the career for you. Ask them to give you an honest list of pro’s and con’s. — Have faith in yourself, low self esteem has held many a person back from reach out to achieve their dream. You can do it if you put the work in. If the 21st Century is teaching us anything at all, it’s that absolutely anything is possible. You only one very short life, so don’t let minor things get in your way.
