It's a shame the article Megger is tweeting is from 3 years ago and nothing has changed.

Don't think it will ever happen, Apprenticeships are getting fewer and fewer, most new Tradesmen including Electricians are being churned out by get rich quick training.

Maybe the schemes are in cahoots with the fire restoration companies

Yeah I do agree, with most youngers lacking the work hard ethic trades are going to suffer in the long term.
I understand that with late bloomers not wanting to sit a classroom for four years with 16/17 year olds is a huge problem and the block training colleges do help alleviate that. It does beg the question to whether most of the adult retraining guys and girls are actually getting jobs once they've passed to progress their knowledge base or are they being forced to make it alone with next to know practical or technical experience...

My computers saying the article is from 6th March 2014. The tweet is from today, but the BBC News Article isn't.

Just because it is old doesn't mean it isn't still true today.

The select committee were told
The government agreed to listen
The schemes had a word in the ear of the all powerful(civil servants)
The minister was put in his place
The recommendations were rejected,appeasement of the schemes prevailed
The select committee moved on to another "national scandal" never to be heard of since

Next item for urgent action if you please

Problem is the cost for us more mature students is the cost of doing an apprenticeship, so get pushed into doing these fly by night educators. Especially as the cost of living continues to raise.

Government need to do more to help business take on more apprentices, and remove the need for such operations.
