Northern Ireland AI firm launches UK-wide platform connecting tradespeople, learners and employers
Blue Canvas has developed UK Trade Jobs to connect jobseekers, learners, tradespeople and employers with vacancies, training and apprenticeship opportunities across the UK
Londonderry AI consultancy and product studio Blue Canvas has launched a new online platform designed to connect tradespeople, jobseekers, learners and employers across the UK.
UK Trade Jobs brings together trade vacancies, apprenticeship information and practical career and training resources, with the aim of helping people explore routes into skilled trades and connect with employment opportunities.
The platform is designed for people at different stages of their careers, from learners considering their first trade and adults looking to change career, to experienced tradespeople searching for new opportunities.
Jobseekers can search vacancies by trade and location, explore pay and career guides, and use a free trade CV builder to help prepare job applications.
The platform covers a range of trades including electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, bricklaying, welding and heating.
For those considering training, UK Trade Jobs provides information on qualifications, entry routes, courses and funding, alongside a directory of colleges and training providers.
Its apprenticeship section links users to England’s official apprenticeship vacancy service, while signposting separate official services for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Employers can advertise trade vacancies on the platform and use a guided apprentice advert builder, while colleges and training providers can use the site as a careers resource.
The platform has been developed in Londonderry by Blue Canvas, which specialises in helping businesses introduce AI and automation into their day-to-day operations.
UK Trade Jobs is available at uktradejobs.com.
