Hide-Apprenticeship is an exciting and proven way for employers to develop talent for their company and industry. Apprenticeships are designed by industry-led groups, supporting growth and competitiveness.
Apprentices earn while they learn and build valuable work-ready skills in a chosen occupation. Apprenticeships open up exciting and rewarding careers, with learning grounded in the practical experience of undertaking a real job. Apprenticeship is defined as a programme of structured education and training which formally combines and alternates learning in the workplace with learning in an education or training centre. It is a dual system, a blended combination of on-the-job employer-based training and off-the-job training.
A plasterer is involved in the preparation and application of protective covering to interior and exterior building surfaces. This work can also involve applying decorative marking and finishes to walls such as pebbledash to achieve a required finish. A plasterer may be required to lay the finishing surface of cement floors for houses, factories and garages. Fibrous plasterers may work from architects’ designs or copy pieces of plasterwork from artists’ drawings or from photographs to produce ornamental work. MTU is the only Technological University or Institute of Technology in the country which offers craft level apprenticeship courses in plastering.
