[QUOTE="binky, post: 555015, member: 490"] Probably your best bet is a large employer like Tesco, or some social housing scheme. Apprenticeships are as broken as everything else in this country. I would certainly be looking at industrial employers, probably the best training you can get. I'm a bit surprised local technical colleges aren't offering courses, but that probably reflects lack of demand. There used to be some incentives to taking on an apprentice, which the government did away with some years ago. As most electrical conractors are small, there is little incentive to train the next generation of electricians, so most just don't bother any more. I had apprentices, 6 in total, before deciding I couldn't be bothered anymore. [/QUOTE]
