    I work for Morrisons and we have that apprenticeship scheme run by Elmfield Training. I said no when I got asked about doing it. Glad I did now.

    I recently saw a 'job' advert for an office apprenticeship for someone to work five days a week answering the phone, making tea, doing the filing etc for £100 a week, it's depressing. I associate apprenticeships with learning skilled jobs not boiling the kettle.

    Reminds me of the job advert I saw once for a local trade/hardware store. They were wanting an apprentice delivery driver 40 hours a week for £100.

    Apprenticeship in driving a van! :rotfl:
