Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2021 Competition - Enter NOW
The Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2021 competition opened on 8 February but if you want to put someone up for a career-boosting accolade and £10 grand prize bundle - you better be smart about it as entries close again on 21 February.
The final selection will be made at an exclusive online event in April. The annual award is returning for its 7th year, to celebrate the next generation of tradespeople as they aim for recognition at the start of their chosen careers.
One talented individual will be named as Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2021 and will receive a prize package worth £10,000. This includes everything a future tradesperson may need to start up their own business - £5,000 of tools, a £3,000 training budget and £2,000 worth of technology. The winner will also get £2,000 for the college where they study.
“We are thrilled to be back with our Screwfix Trade Apprentice competition as we search for exciting new talent in the construction industry. Every year we are amazed by the outstanding quality of entrants and, this year, we are on the lookout for apprentices who go above and beyond to succeed within their chosen trade.”
