Adult apprenticeship scotland needed urgently.

[dsmart]

Hi guys I'll cut a long story short.
basically I was a plumbing apprentice when I left school, sadly after my first 6 months the company went bust and I ended up in another industry.

i am 24 now and as I always wanted to be in the plumbing/heating game I've decided it's now or never for me.

I live in Glasgow but I'm willing to travel in central scotland if any company can offer me an apprenticeship. I am a hardworking reliable person and I can guarantee I would be 100 percent committed

i know there are incentives for companies taking on apprentices in scotland. I'm more than willing to work for 16 year old apprentice wages as I'm committed to getting time served.

if anybody could offer me this chance or know of anyone who could, please get in touch.

thanks

derek

I'm not so sure nowadays, "when I were a lad, in black and white days" it was seen as worthwhile and only certain companies were part of it, but nowadays with quick start companies etc I don't know what it's actually worth, suppose a wee look see into costs/benefits etc might be worthwhile, but let's be honest if you mention you are SNIPEF registered and therefore the job will be £x more, the customer will choose someone else, price is king now
