Has anyone here ever 'officially' taken an apprentice on? Was the little bit of funding worth the little(?) bit of hassle?
I'd normally just do things off the books when I'm giving somebody a leg up, but thinking about doing things properly this time around.
There's a lad working in a local shop who's interested in getting into IT, he's young, pretty, he's got people skills and he knows his beer. I'm thinking it may be time to try and lure him to the dark side, but I'm fairly sure he'd want something proper (or rather his scary dad would) in place.
It kind of goes against my 'leaf in the wind' business plan, so I'm trying to talk myself both into and out of getting something sorted out for him.
Does anyone have any experience with ( or AS ) a gov funded apprentice?
Thanks in advance, feel free to PM if you don't want to discuss your business on here.
