Hi Folks,
Recently took on a 1st year apprentice, who is currently brand new to any tool and a days work.
Now when I've worked for larger companies I've had apprentices with a few years experience in them, so I could just fine tune these kids.
So I wouldn't mind knowing what you did from day 1 with your apprentice.
Obviously we've had the normal chats about cleaning up, passing tools, cups of tea...but Id just like to know where you started with your apprentice and what did you first start showing him/her.
We currently have a contract where we go to restaurants and fit 3phase supply and extract fans linked off gas safety systems, so its a bit too in the deep end for him and I can see him understandably scratching his head.
I've got the college portal where I can log-in and see his progress, so thats pretty handy to keep in touch with what hes doing, but we all know it doesnt always translate to site.
It would be interesting to know your stories/advice.
Thanks all.
