Making the most of an apprentice bricklayer

Taking an apprentice under your wing means a level of responsibility to them and to yourself.

An apprentice is there to develop themself - so get them involved in hands on learning from the start. Give them credit for their contribution – after all, you won’t just be their employer – you’ll be their mentor too.

The more dedication and encouragement you provide to your apprentice, the more likely they will become a better bricklayer; and committed to you as an employer. And, the keener they will be, to stay working for you in the long run.

Remember the more you train an apprentice the less time they need to spend at trade school. Which means, the more time they can spend onsite being productive for you!
