Recruitment support

Holding the ladder for others

NFRC's mission is to provide standards and guidance to our members, which raises confidence among businesses and householders, and promotes roofing as a skilled, professional sector within the wider construction industry. We will give you the tools to recruit, train and retain new talent through apprenticeships, traineeships, graduate schemes and more.

Reasons to recruit new talent—trainees, apprentices, graduates and more

Over recent years many roofing businesses have seen the rewards of hiring new talent into their workforce and diversifying their team.

Early careers programmes such as traineeships, apprenticeships, internships and graduate schemes are increasingly seen as a dynamic addition to the workforce and many talented young people are also viewing these programmes as direct entry to the careers they want.

From fixing the skills gap to helping your business develop a motivated workforce, there are many benefits to recruiting your own future workforce, rather than always relying on recruiting experienced people or subcontracting the labour out.
