With a current shortage of skilled tradesman in the UK, now is a great time to learn Bricklaying as a trade. Eastleigh College staff have over 100 years combined bricklaying and general building experience, as well as a combined 50 years’ experience teaching the trade. Typical careers within this industry include civil engineering, site management, site agents, and building inspection. There is the potential to train for specialist work such as stonemasonry, restoration or conservation, or move into education to teach the next generation of workers. Experienced bricklayers could even go on to become self-employed or start their own business.
