Currently working with over 3000 businesses, we train more apprentices than anyone else in the building services engineering sector.

Our apprentices achieve more ? because we only take on the best and as a registered charity, every penny we receive goes into the training we offer. We believe that our work builds futures and changes lives and our immediate aspirations are to have 10,000 young people in learning, increase the number of JTL centres and continue to improve our market share. We have a highly effective senior leadership team and board, however, with our current Chair?s term coming to an end, we need the right non-executive leadership to help us realise our goals.
