Hey,
Is there any Plumbing / Heating firms taking on people these days who are still training? Ive got C&G 2 and doing level 3 at college but to get the NVQs i need to be on the job.... I've been searching all over the place and it seems no ones taking on trainees.
I dont understand it really, surely people like me are an investment into the firms future. I understand they need to make money firstly and don't always have the time to have someone shadowing them. I starting to think its all about blagging jobs now to gain that experience... But i want to learn and be competent not a chancer.
Tried some of the bigger firms and they only want 18-24year old apprentices / mates (I'm 39) or fully qualified engineers. Its a catch 22 situation.
