Helping to Build Futures: LJ Construction's Apprenticeship Opportunities 2025
Applications now open for September 2025 intake - limited spaces available!
This September, LJ Construction will welcome another 15 new apprentices to join our growing team - future tradespeople who'll help shape the construction industry for years to come.
Following the success of our 2024 programme, where 12 out of 14 apprentices are still with us and are making excellent progress - we're excited to keep building on that momentum with a refined structure, better support, and more hands-on experience for these future tradesmen and women.
What's New for 2025?
Teaming up with MT Training, the first 4 weeks of the apprenticeship programme will be spent at the Carpentry Academy Banbury, Oxfordshire. Here, apprentices will gain essential knowledge in key topics such as:
- Site Environment
- Manual Handling
- Health & Safety Basics
- Power Tool Competency
Our goal is to make sure every apprentice is "Site Ready" from day one. After that time, the apprentices will head out to site, working close to their home with our chosen mentors as they start their journey in the industry.

Why Choose LJ Construction?
At LJ Construction, we're passionate about building for the future.
We're committed to addressing the skills shortage facing the construction industry by actively training the next generation of carpenters. With more workers leaving the industry than entering it, the lack of skilled construction workers is predicted to be one of the biggest challenges the sector will face in the coming years.
We're proud to be part of the solution by:
- Actively training young talent
- Providing real mentorship from experienced carpenters
- Delivering structured, practical, and meaningful experience
We believe in striking the right balance - fresh energy from apprentices combined with the experience and wisdom of seasoned professionals. It's how we ensure quality, continuity, and pride in every project we take on. The guidance and mentorship provided by our skilled carpenters is essential in shaping the next generation's development, creating a solid foundation for the industry's future.
