I can see both sides of this experienced/take on a appy argument.
When you need someone with certain skills thats who you need not an apprentice.
We need both at my work and I think we have just taken on a keen young fella as an appy.
Experienced Tradesmen with the right experience are hard to find and that is not helped by pay rates largely and not enough apprentices being taken on and the potential apprentices themselves being next to useless.
We have had 7 or 8 young fellas who just are not upto the task or are just shit employees before finding one worth offering a apprenticeship.
