So just how should the country train new starters, not the courses, plenty of them if you have the money. I mean getting the practical experience needed in order to apply their trade.
With so few apprenticeships and the understandable concern of established tradesmen unwilling to mentor someone who is likely to be in direct competition soon after it is a problem. A problem not just for the individual but for the country as a whole, we need practical hands-on craftsmen and women, the older ones among us won't go on forever and I can foresee the great public turning towards unqualified cash-in-hand types in desperation to resolve whatever problem they are experiencing.
Maybe the whole training structure is flawed? If so, what should be done?
