Can I work in the trades with no experience?+
Yes. Every tradesperson started somewhere. LabourLynx helps school leavers in North End find their first day on site. You'll start with labouring and watching, and quickly pick up skills.
Is university better than a trade?+
That depends on you. Qualified tradespeople earn £30,000–£50,000+ with no student debt, and there's a national skills shortage meaning job security is strong. Many trade careers offer higher lifetime earnings than graduate roles.
