Employing and paying for tickets

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Apprenticeship, apprenticeship, apprenticeship!

 

Ask your Job Centre for details or look it up on tinternet. The government pays for the training, you pay apprenticeship pay rates, the candidate gets trained and (hopefully) a job!

 

Ask the job centre to explain!

I nearly took an apprentice on in September but his careers advisor told him to go do an NVQ in land management so he had something to fall back on when he no longer wanted to do trees. Another tick in the box for further education for the school vs getting a job.

Yes they can walk away but if you word a contract properly so that you are effectively loaning them the money for the training and they are paying it back in time worked if they do not do the time they have to pay the money back on leaving.

 

Physically getting it could be a different matter but you are legally covered and it would stand up in small claims court.

 

If you went to the bank to borrow for the training and then decided to change career you would still have to pay the bank back.

 

Maybe, if he signed a legally drawn up contract and not just a bit of paper that you wrote up yourself. Same with banks, the small print is all there. If they walk I think you would struggle to get anything back.

I wish I had found people like you to employ me!!

 

Currently on minimum wage and having to pay for all my own training. While on my training courses I don't get paid and I'm not even guaranteed to get 5 days work every week!! its all a lot of hardwork but I love the job hopefully as I gain experience and CS tickets I will be able to find a better employer!!
