Bricks & Mortar: Celebrating apprenticeships in the built environment

In the first Bricks & Mortar episode of 2022, its host Sarah Jackman talks to James Doyle, an apprentice at Paul Airey chartered surveyors and Rebecca Bickerton, Head of Apprenticeship Outcomes at UCEM, to mark National Apprenticeship Week.

The pair – who are the recipients of UCEM’s Built Environment Apprenticeship Awards as Apprentice of the Year and UCEM Staff Member of the Year respectively – discuss the benefits of taking the apprenticeship route to qualification, how apprentices and their employers can be supported through the process and why balancing work and study can enrich the learning experience.
