Where I work we get a lot of flat-raters that want something better. We have a program for them called Worker Skills Progression. Starts out a little higher pay wise because they already know how to use hand tools. For these guys it's all about learning the vehicle.
I went through the apprentance program starting at age 37. I wish I started at age 20 or even 18. It even got me my Associates Degree. I had to buy tools up to 2". Larger stuff comes out of a tool crib. I did not bring anything from home and have quite the collection there for my own addictions. We hire about 200 apprentances a year and cannot keep up with the attrition from retirement. We get a mechanic trained up in 4 years and they find another job in the company the 5th. My local Porsche mechanic has been doing it for about 30 years and a few years ago he found a great kid to teach. It's been a pleasure watching the kid mature and gain knowledge. |
