Both of my sons are apprentices. One in general engineering the other in aviation. Even if they sometimes feel that they do not picture staying at their current employer long term, they should learn as many skills as possible while there. Once any apprenticeship is completed, the world is their oyster. Hopefully four local lads or lasses will embrace the Jet2 apprenticeship and learn the trade properly. There are too many colleges and universities turning out B1 and B2 Licenced engineers that quite frankly are bloody useless for the first few years, combined with massive tuition fees to pay back!
