Sir Alan Sugar isn't the only person on the hunt for an apprentice; the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) is looking for the best young talent in the construction industry, as it launches its search for the Apprentice of the Year 2006.

The competition is run in conjunction with the FMB's Master Builder of the Year Awards and is open to any UK apprentice in construction, not just FMB members. This year the FMB is giving away a top prize of £1,000 to the winner.

Last year, 19-year-old Christopher Ware, from Taunton, scooped the award for his good practical skills and ability to complete work on his own during the refurbishment of a Grade II listed building.
