So, my step son gave up a well paid job he'd had for 5 years at our local Stihl dealers, enrolled at college after finding a placement advertised and moved to the other end of the country. Good on him. He's been wanting to get into tree work for some time but because of the policy where I work I could'nt take him on. Anyhow, after a month or so of working on his employers mates scrap cars and only 2 or 3 days in the woods it turns out he hasnt got the work for him. Needless to say he's gutted. So im wondering if anyone wants to take on an apprentice. I think the course is quite flexible as to wether it sways towards forestry or surgery as is he. He's willing to relocate again. He doesnt want to give this up. Any ideas?
Apprenticeship gone wrong!

Thanks for all the good advice. You lot are a helpful bunch on here. At the moment he's living back with us in Oxfordshire but were not sure how that will pan out as he's also got a touring caravan he bought to live in which is at his placement in Cornwall. So he can move anywhere as long as he can find somewhere to park up until he gets a flat or a pemanant park up.
