Approach used to achieve our aims

Our approach, in many ways, will be similar to a trade apprenticeship in tandem with a college course, only starting earlier, with much smaller groups and the added value of real vocational experiences within MPS Construction. Technical instruction can be more thoroughly presented within a safer environment where the young people get more attention and assistance. They will regularly encounter real tradesmen working on real problems within the real world. While the curriculum is specialised and not as broad as a mainstream experience, it will be broad enough to give our students a strong foundation for a Construction Industry career at the very least.
