Originally posted by tannerswf View PostMy son is 19 years old. He has his City & Guilds Electrical Installation certificates as well as CSCS card.
We have tried for 2 years to get him an apprenticeship for an electrician.
He has had a few short term jobs and one so called 'apprenticeship' with a company in London that laid him off due to the economic situation!
He is gagging for an apprenticeship Industrial or Domestic.
I have advertised locally and offered to pay his salary for a short time, but nothing!
He needs a good company or a mentor to give him confidence.
Failing this, he has been doing a little labouring work, as he is very strong.
He is reliable, keen and willing to work unsociable hours.
Is there anyone out there near Chelmsford or in London that can offer him something-Please!
Otherwise I wonder where our future construction workers will come from?
Most probably Poland! My son went to the Olympic site and was told he had no chance 'cos it was 95% full of Polish workers!!
send him to Belgium or Holland
I have friends who have done that, in similar situations/trades
they found work easily and had a great time
