Barry Neilson OBE, Chief Executive, CITB NI said:

“ We are delighted to be taking part in NI Apprenticeship Week 2025. Apprentices at all levels are a vital component to helping the construction industry develop and grow. Offering young people apprenticeships gives businesses the chance to play an active role in moulding their future workforce and creating the future skills that they need to help their businesses develop. #NIAW2025 is an opportunity for CITB NI to support, encourage and signpost construction employers and young people to the support available.”
