These new members of the ilke Homes team will form the next generation of house builders, helping plug the skills shortages the industry faces and building the homes of the future.
Since opening in 2020, over 800 people have passed through the Academy. The Academy will continue to be an invaluable resource as ilke Homes welcomes further apprentices, as well as recruiting significant numbers of new employees into their North Yorkshire factory to support the scale up of the business.
The ilke team is also working with local charities such as Skills4Living to identify ways to help members of the community with learning disabilities, autism or Asperger’s to gain valuable work experience.
