Its ok Teaching a trade like plumbing at college and being able to gain basic understanding of plumbing systems, but the problem I have come across is that with-out being able to get an employer in the trade, how can I further my-self with the practical skills needed to fully qualify as a fully trained and skilled plumber if there are no jobs out there?
The thing I hear all the time is that with a trade like plumbing there is always work out there and most good decent plumbers are busy even in this tuff climate, but where is there a need for a trainee ?
Surely there is a massive benefit to an employer for taking on trainees, ie tax benefits and cheap labour and providing the trainee can show that he/she is a fast learner and dedicated then thats good for business all round.?
Yes colleges can teach the underpinning knowledge in plumbing but you can't really learn to plumb until your working in the trade getting that hands on experience.
