This means they shape the towns, cities or villages we live in by balancing the needs of people and businesses for homes, jobs, local facilities and open spaces, with impacts on the wider environment. During the chartered town planner apprenticeship, you’ll deal with official regulations, policy documents and master plans for changing, improving, reusing or conserving buildings and sites, and advise your clients on how best to manage the development and use of land. Jobs are available across many sectors, including construction, the environment, housing, energy, transport, regeneration, coastal, heritage and conservation, and minerals and waste. You must abide by the Royal Town Planning Institute Code of Professional Conduct and ethical standards because you’ll hold a position of responsibility, making decisions that impact the environment.
