Training

Guys & Gals,

How does a building firm train a spotty faced school leaver?

Well done, good answer- CORRECT.
-Through an apprenticeship
ie low pay, train at the employers expense and work under supervision, gaining full trade qualification at the end.
In return the empolyer expects the newly trained tradesman (appologies - TRADESPERSON) to remain in his/her empoly for some years AFTER completion of training.

A carpenter is taught skills and knowledge of th ebuilding industry. A pilots SKILLS are his/her flying ability, and KNOWLEDGE is of aviation regulations and acft system.

Does the govt subsidise the building or any other industry to train new personel?

Remember Air NZ is the ONLY airline to EVER pay its directors -ala FAT CATS- a bonus for 'Trying hard".

Must go for my afternoon 'REST' before tonights all night duty.
