You guys are lucky, the engineering company i used to work for, we had a few young guys through the doors over the years and only one of them was any good.

60 replies to a Trademe advert. 9 of them could have started yesterday and I doubt we would have had any problems at all. Obviously an apprentice will be an easier position to fill than a tradesman but they don't just come out of the Weetbix box. We have to train them first and engineering as a whole (actually all trades) forgot to do that for probably for the last 10 years.
