Apprentice getting to work

It’s shocking at the moment.

Interviewed 7 a week ago and half of them had not even looked into the trade or the website.

One lad, 20, when asked about wages said he wasn’t bothered what the pay was as long as it was more than his current job…. Which turned out to be fitting wheels to wheely bins.

Ended up taking a lad of 18, drives and started him on £9 an hour. Found out later in week he has a 71 plate ST Focus and pays £700 a month insurance, both courtesy of his mam and dad. Nice lad but can’t see him doing this for very long with that lifestyle to fall back on.

The worst lad I ever had use to plaster for the council I said why do you wanna leave for chusty little number being on council,he said it was all price work and the meterage wasn’t there and was like being at school being checked on by the gaffers in the office,I thought nothing of it and gave him a trial I ducked him off after 2 weeks he’d been doing it for 3 years he was the laziest useless div I’ve ever had a YouTube chancing diyer had a better finish than him,I f**k*d him off when I went to go and look at another job not far from where we was working and left him to just skim a chimney breast no bother I came back and he was gone the walls were a f**k**g mess tried ringing no answer comes back half hour later he went to the chippy he put the first coat on and went for some scran the c**t
 
Great load of replies I’m hoping he does his test soon atm I’m picking him up , think over the next few weeks will be good to take some of yours advice and mix it up see how he goes doing a bit of getting to the job and the odd pick ups
 
Had a young lad with us on a job in a village and we sent him in to the nearby town to get us some lunch (fish and chips) gave him £20 and said get something for yourself.
He came back with 2 portions of fish and chips but none for himself. Asked him where his was he said I don’t like fish and chips but I bought myself a jumper!!!

I think passing test is an absolute priority for everyone to get around and move on in life definitely
But can remember being 18 it’s hard to convince some folks
