According to The Sun: The chronic shortage of builders, plumbers, and plasterers complicates the process of constructing necessary homes, schools, and hospitals.

Today we are publishing a list of government-supported construction internships to help you learn the profession, regardless of your age or experience.

This project is part of the 'Building a Better Britain' campaign supported by Minister for Women and Equalities Kemi Badenoch.

With thousands of young people out of work due to the closure of shops and bars, the government is allocating £100 million for courses to train 12.8% of youth aged 16 to 24 who are currently not engaged in education, employment, or training (NEETs).

So now is the time to start your career.

After last year's advertising campaign, many young people applied for internships. Among the success stories was 18-year-old Brooke Knight.

She said: 'It teaches lifelong skills, there are no training fees, and you can earn thousands after taxes.'
