Best of luck with the exams, Jonny.....stick in, m8.
Our Ian left school a few years ago (he\'s 20 now) and went to ST College......done a GNVQ (level2) in surface coatings -( that\'s painting, to you & me), a course in mobile scaffolding assembly and a ladder course.
Went on umpteen teporary things, but still no job at the end of it.
I hope you have better luck in finding a job, Jonny.
You could try getting in touch with the Personnel Dept (now called \"Human Resources\") at the Town Hall, Jonny.
Every year they take on several school leavers in their \"Modern Appentiships\" program. Jobs range from electricians, gas fitters, joiners, plumbers, etc. If you don\'t fancy talking to somebody at the Town Hall, have a word with one of your teachers about the \"modern Apprentice\" program at the council.
One of the good things about the scheme is that, as well as learning a trade, you also get paid a decent wage whilst doing the job.....not the paltry minimum wage.
