Ms Denise Walker:

It certainly happens now and again but in terms of a trainee, whether that person has worked for the industry previously at a different grade in some respects is irrelevant. That example highlights that the training is not real and is not a proper career progression. The fact is that trainees come into the job and there is no accreditation or training plan or pathway and if we are talking about a trainee on a job for ten weeks, if that person is let go after the end of that ten weeks, what actual skills can they pick up within that time? They are employed and then they are dumped.
