Upskil? Sounds like something out of the Thick of It.
At this point I don’t believe them until it happens.
Upskilled for whose benefit? Waiting to see the wages on offer at the end of these training schemes…
I know everyone likes to complain, and believe me, I do too. But this is a step in the right direction
To upskill them to do what exactly? Making cars? Ship?
Unless there are good jobs at the end, training schemes are essentially pointless.
It would help if they would actually restrict the use of ‘apprenticeships’ to areas where they are beneficial to the employee rather than serving as a source of cheap labour for employers. Looking through job sites a few weeks back I found listings for apprenticeships in retail: a supposed opportunity to learn how to work in a shop; I also found apprenticeships in office administration: an opportunity to learn basic office tasks. This is a nonsense. They are not apprenticeships. Not only is it taking advantage of the young people recruited into these roles – any employer should expect to train new employees as a matter of course, but it’s an insult to the trades which still practice traditional apprenticeships (though even they have been diminished).
Apprenticeships can be good, but I can never get the „apprenticeships“ I used to see out of my head. „Apprentice Office Junior“, „Apprentice Receptionist“ etc… just companies making up „apprenticeships“ because they could pay less for it. It’s just tainted the entire concept in my head.
That was around 10-ish years ago though, so hopefully that kind of thing has been stamped out.
