Mr. Martin Scattergood:

We work for many companies. Probably once a week people would ask me if I have any friends because they need young fellows and they need bodies. There is a lack of apprentices.

I definitely felt in school that it is just about college. College is beaten into you, so to speak. Someone asked if there was a stigma around apprenticeships. There kind of is, but you have to get over that. In schools, there was absolutely no mention of apprenticeships. You had to hunt that out yourself. I did not know about it, only through a friend who told me this course will gear you up for going into an apprenticeship.
