Jason Hungerford: Construction veterans are also getting involved in formal training - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Construction booms have seen apprenticeships skyrocket.
The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation has seen a 77 percent increase in apprentices in the past two years.
Director Jason Hungerford told Andrew Dickens the average age of apprentices has risen – as people change careers.
