Apprenticeships in the Tree industry?

[DTaylor]

Has anyone ever employed someone as an apprentice? Is that possible in this line of work?

Sure lots of people on here have taken on staff and provided full training for them. Would say that LA’s and other public organisations should have a structured training schemes

Yep, usually in junction with a land based college, eg Capel Manor, but sometimes utilising alternative training providers.

informally, many businesses develop people “on the job” n some larger employers, eg Gristwood n Toms, have their own in house training n development procedures.

Are there schemes in place that have the apprentice working for said amount of days per week and studying at college for a day? With the work experience counting towards the qualifications? Or is it just straight up standard employment?

Yep we always use apprentices or diploma students, contact your nearest agricultural/ horticultural college.
