OP, for future reference, if she is still working there next year or for many years or anywhere for that matter, she must ensure she books time off before she books any holidays as they can be refused.

Holiday was booked in Apr she starts job 1st August as I said when we booked holiday she had other ideas, recently changed her mind and got herself this job, I work myself I know you need to apply for your holiday before booking, would have done if she was working at the time of booking,

It clearly alienates the very people you are asking for help.

Well, you wouldn't would you. Surely the point of telling you that it makes you look 'a bit thick' is to educate you in how you are coming across to others. You are not the others that you are coming across to so you won't be able to see it will you?

I am not criticising anyone here, as it applies to many threads and posts, but agree that text speak when on a website looks like you can't be bothered or are terminally uneducated or both and reflects the amount of help you will receive and who from.

Anyone that point over:

£2.65 an hour may well be 'taking the pee' however an apprentice gets a paid day off work every week (which adds 20% to what they cost the company for starters obviously), they are also a trainee so not capable in many cases of doing the same work as those who may only be on the minimum wage themselves.

A company will have 'a costing' of what profit they can make per day by the work each employee does, recently my own (data processing) company found that apprenticeships would actually cost us more money than paying a full wage (albeit low) to an employee who can attend all 5 days of the working week once the 'loss' of the 5th day was taken into consideration.

I am quite sure some companies do take advantage of the £2.65 per hour rate however, although there are a few industries, hairdressing being a very good example where 'a foot in the door' usually starts with hair sweeping and washing/making tea on an apprenticeship and that perhaps, without apprenticeships these opportunities wouldn't be there?

A mate of mine started that way, and now has 6 hair salons, an aston martin and a ferrari and that is perfectly honest!

I would think the OPs daughter would be mad to let this opportunity go. It is so hard to get a foot in the door, and she has now achieved this.
