Construction Training
Get a Trade
Become a Professional

To get a trade you must join the Jobskills programme.

In construction the best place for apprentices to learn the necessary skills is ON-SITE. Therefore after a short period of off-the-job training you will be placed with a construction company for 4 days per week and then attend day release to develop your skills and complete your apprenticeship.



The Link Works offers full modern apprenticeships in:

Joinery
Bricklaying
General Construction

Training will be delivered in association with the most prominent name in construction in Newry & Mourne - Felix O'Hare & Co Ltd.


Felix O'Hare & Co Ltd

For all courses there are limited places available.
