The apprenticeships are open to applicants aged 16 years to 24.

Diarmuid Gilmore, Choice Property Services Manager, said: "Choice are very keen to encourage and support trade apprenticeships. We recognise that apprenticeships not only offer the skills and training required to maintain and develop our homes into the future but also help to ensure sustainable communities and youth employment. As JMC are recruiting through local colleges, we hope that some of our tenants may be eligible to apply for an apprenticeship opportunity with one of our major contractors."
