Sorry can't help you, but do wish your son all the luck in the world.

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

our app has just left and might be looking 4 a new one...does he any qualifications etc?

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

It might be worth your son enrolling for a BTEC Electronics course at your local college - this will give him something to do and gain him some skills as well. While he is there the college will have industry links and information on Modern Apprenticeships where he can get paid and still attend college on day release whilst doing the actual job the other 4 days. Good luck to him - I hope he find something soon

Try training 2000 in blackburn.

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

training 2000 just scratched thier head and told us they don`t cater for sparky`s

he has signed himself up at acc & ross college and started today and they told him he has to find his own placement by 1/2 term...............

Give business link a ring ask then if they have any business contacts or start ups looking for an Spark's apprentiship on the ETP programme......He may have to travel.

cheers will try that. tracel no probs just bought him a scooter so he can get to burnley rossendale etc.....................

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

well we have around 7 electricians at our works the youngest is still an apprentice at 18 and all of them have gone through training 2000 ????? strange!

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

Thanks for that I will contact training 200 again as I thought it strange aswell. I have had dealings with them before for my apprentices and had no probs so tried and tested I would like him to of used them.

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

when you call t2000 ask for john parkin - he sorts out all our apprentices at emerson and renwick and he definately deals with sparkies cos he dealt with me! :)

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

Your not a sparky are ya Roy hehe!!

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

I'll second that statement, Wingy.

If we're all in agreement... the motion is carried! :D

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

i served my time with norweb when they took on a batch each year, but thats all finished now. traditional apprenticeships are very difficult to find. good luck !

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

i searved my apprenticeship until i was 20. you started at 16 spent time at colledge in preston then blocks of 6 weeks on the job training going out with the sparkies. norweb had a residential training centre at chorley. you did 6 weeks on job, 6 weeks at preston colledge, 6 weeks at chorley. norweb paid your wages, all your books fees everything. it was one of the best ! i remember it well! all changed now!

Found this thread on google. I know its an old thread but I'm currently looking for an electrical apprenticeship to start in the summer.
Anybody have any ideas who might need an apprentice in accrington.

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

heard electricians direct Electricians Direct In Accrington & All Lancashire and thomson electricial are looking for some apprentices, if anyone else is trying to find 1 try them.

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

The same advice from five years previous still applies. Contact Training 2000, in Blackburn. They oversee the training of apprentices for a four year period. The first year is in-house at Harwood St., in Blackburn, near to the Tesco building. The next three years are spent training with whichever company sponsors the apprentice, returning to Training 2000 once a week, working towards either City & Guilds or BTEC certificates.

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
 

My son has gone through training 2000 and has been told that he will be invited for an interview with Emerson And Renwick, just waiting for the date now.

Hip hip hooray... :) (yeah I know he hasn't got the position but it's still good news)

Re: wanted APPRENTISHIP FOR 16yr OLD / ELECTRICIAN
