what a joke
we have an apprentice and the collage is not able to train him because they do not have any teachers
active learning are a bloody joke unable to organise anything
the kids from school can barely read and write and have no desire to work a full day
we are like most garages using older guys who need a job to pay the bills
we are gently sinking with no prospects of getting new staff
we pay very well and even that does not work
the powers that be need a bloody good kick up the arse and get in the real world

Don’t want to be pessimistic but our experience is the poor quality of candidates . The thing that needs to change is the perception of being a tech as grease monkey etc. Everyone in the trade knows this .

That Steve Nash is just ugly ginger fud*. He never responded to my
Tweet from couple of years ago and it’s only him out of the entire imi people
Ive noted that hasn’t blocked me on Twitter. So he is clearly out of touch.

As for Apprenticeship training the “education centre” about 10
Miles away in the next town used to have 4 members of staff as imi professionals
Now there is only 2……. those not on register STILL work there!

Like above mentioned the term “snowflake” is the term you need.
Anybody created around the time of the “Millennium Bug” need kick up the arse.
Less intrest than a visa card.

*That IS a politically CORRECT statement.

The whole training program is a joke in England. The quality of training is terrible and no one at the collages really care. Good luck apprentices

We have tried a few over the years. There is a fundamental problem with the youngins these days. They don’t want to work. They would rather be tiktok famous, or a youtube personality. They will not work, always on their phones…one snowflake knocked the oil pan and spilled oil everywhere…He then asked if he should clean it up haha…I kid you not….I am sure there are good youngsters out there, we just haven’t found any yet.
