Visiting the National Final is completely free and open to everyone. You can also experience what working in construction is really like with skill-based challenges, interactive activities, hands-on demonstrations and more. The Tile Association (TTA) will be hosting its own ‘have a go’ demonstration stand, helping to educate prospective trainees and apprentices on the benefits of a tiling career.
TTA is proud to support talented construction trainees and apprentices as a sponsor of SkillBuild along with TTA members Building Adhesives Ltd (BAL), N&C Nicobond and Schlüter-Systems.
