There are two sessions today for anyone who's interested in learning a trade.
There is the chance to find out more about learning a new trade in Scarborough today.
The Construction Skills Village is holding an open day at its site at High Eastfield Farm, near Musham Bank off the A64, from 10am to 12 noon and then again from 1pm to 3pm.
It is as it starts new training courses for heating engineers, plumbers, electricians and interior builders.
The open day will provide hands-on experience and taster sessions in the full range of construction trades, including joinery, bricklaying, groundworks and plastering, with a tour that shows the scale of development.
Graham Ratcliffe, head of Northern Regeneration which runs the skills village, said:
"We have brilliant opportunities from people of all ages and background to learn construction skills in Scarborough.
"Thousands of new construction workers are needed to support the post-pandemic levelling up agenda and good growth.
"With new technology and green methodology, the construction industry is changing fast and needs to attract people who want to help build a new future for themselves and their community.”
The skills village is looking to engage with employers who want to take on apprentices, with help and advice available.
