[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 236946, member: 7"] I would agree with the above about perks, I have never known an apprentice(never mind a 1st year), to be given a company vehicle or offered free accommodation. until recently I worked for a company and the van was seen as a perk due to my low wages compared with my position in the firm, quite a lot of the other guys actually had to pay for the priviledge of being able to take their vans home, and NO personal usage allowed!! as for accommodation, extremely unlikely, its not like the '80s where skilled workers were at a premium and could almost command conditions. just be glad to even get an apprenticeship, and anything other than that is an added extra, there are folks out there willing to work for free right now just to get some experience and a foot on the ladder, so you might want to lower your expectations somewhat.
