Loved the opportunity of gaining lifelong skills and comradeship. A different world from the Blair degrees and entitlement. A pure lunatic bam. I've done both, and both, and simply don't recognise the bit in bold at all. Quite frankly, it's nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 On 20/04/2024 at 21:34, Cranston said: I know guys who say they were very fortunate to get onto the YTS courses back in the day. In the days of high unemployment, the YTS was a great opportunity for young people to learn skills and apprenticeships that lasted them their whole lifetime. Getting a trade is still a very worthwhile and lucrative source of employment. Unfortunately, Blair trumpeted University Degrees as the way forward, and since then we've had generations that think hard work and graft is beneath them. Another lunatic bam that somehow got into power. Aye has his own son not set up a company that has totally rebelled against those ideas as well by saying it's far better to get an apprenticeship ( work and learn in the field no need for the degree ).Different kind of apprenticeship to what you are on about but work and learn all the same.

Any advise on layout for a 16yo who hasn't even got exam results yet?! Modern world sucks for personal interaction... Have a look at the CV advice and templates on www.myworldofwork.co.uk Also use the What Are My Strengths tool on www.myworldofwork.co.uk as this tool helps individuals identify their transferable skills which they can put onto their CV, application. www.myworldofwork.co.uk also has advice and support, articles, videos etc on interviews, personal statements, applications, covering letters and much more.

muldoon74 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Thanks for all the replies.. I managed to cobble something together. Used layout/format from my own CV and tried to big up his personal details/statement as obviously no work history. Found out yesterday the manager of the place he asked about a job in is his pals mum so hopefully wee bit nepotism might occur.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
