s2rrr Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Can't see any problem with a public service announcement. The yoof need all the help they can get these days. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisisWolf Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 A friend of mine did the Filton one back in 2005, whilst I did the MOD one in Bristol. Still there now 10 years later and doing better than most out of it (compared to the usual route of university degrees...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 My daughter just a couple of weeks ago went for an apprenticeship with a very large Accounting company. She is 17 doing A levels this year and had to compete with graduates and competition up to 23 years of age. Not a level playing field and I was a little angry that she was surprisingly not successful , however she did credit to herself by passing the online test ( bl**** difficult) and then two of the three tests at the interviews in Manchester. Its not easy for the yoof or young adults and we the establishment are making it more and more difficult as the numbers of unemployed youngsters rise and the companies can cherry pick the ones who satisfy the criteria for entry into there world. Good luck with your unofficial job advert I hope local yoofs benefit from Airbus's opportunity. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Tell your daughter to keep perusing this route Bob - best way to get into the sector IMO and the industry has been shifting away from graduates for the last few years. Good for the trainee too as you earn rather than get into debt and gain more on the job experience. Depending on your daughters long term aspirations, one of the big 4 may not be best to train at and achieve her qualifications. I chose a top 7 firm over PWC despite having a job offer from them Any q's, just shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
