Case Study: Cook Brothers Construction Apprenticeship Academy
Executive Summary
This case study showcases the Cook Brothers’ Construction Apprenticeship Academy. We describe the Academy’s model and provide insights on the impact it has had on Apprentices - past, current, and future, and the wider Cook Brothers’ team.
We conducted a series of interviews with current apprentices and Cook Brothers’ staff, including carpenters, leading hands, site managers, and senior executives. These interviews looked to capture their thoughts and insights into the apprenticeship programme, what makes it unique, how it supports apprentices, potential improvements, and the overall value it adds to Cook Brothers as a business.
The case study also highlights the programme’s key benefits and challenges and provides recommendations for the Construction industry and vocational education system to design and improve apprenticeship models.
