Will My New Apprentice Last on the Job Site?
Meet my new apprentice! Today, I’m introducing the newest member of my construction team and putting him straight to work on the job site. Apprenticeships aren’t easy-especially in construction-but everyone has to start somewhere. Will he rise to the challenge or crack under pressure?
In this video, I’ll share what it’s like to train a new apprentice, the expectations on-site, and why finding dedicated team members is so important in the trade. Stick around to see how his first day went and if he’s got what it takes to make it in the industry!

Didn’t complain took it only out of respect I was able to secure the jobs in the house. But a note to the Karen that complains and the critical your making it so difficult to secure contractors to do jobs and a huge skills vacuum is coming and all we will have left is have a go blue collar contractors you will have plenty to complain about and it will all be on you being petty the skilled workers will Be stacking shelf’s because they can’t be assed with the stress!

    I love my plumber. He is a radical Russian who knows so much about everything. When I had a house inspection, I paid him to just be here pretending to work, as my property agents are C U Next Tuesdays and intimidate the 💩 out of me. He was happy to do it, but he would be devastated to learn it was for nothing. I dared to ask the owner to clean the gutters. We live in fire prone rural Australia, where houses with weed packed gutters burn to the ground. Days later, my lease was not renewed. Retributional termination. I doubt you are that kind of landlord, Al. Can I move to Ireland and work for you for a home? I am a great receptionist, garden designer, and proofreader. Aussies are liked in Ireland, and I could charm the plumber for sure. lol

    I appreciate the insight you provide on business in some of these videos, but your take on this is nonsensical. There's a minimum wage for a reason, people can't work for free while getting fucked from every angle with rising prices. If the local Spar have to pay young people while learning to use the till, why shouldn't you have to pay them while they learn how to use a hammer? If you're not getting a return on your investment quickly enough, then the issue is your ability to provide useful on-the-job training in a timely manner. Another issue with this is if you're not paying the apprentice a decent wage, or nothing as it sounds like you want to do, how can they afford transport to and from work? are you providing transport and tools? I appreciate you had to work for free back in the day but times have changed. If we go back a few years, women weren't allowed to vote, should we go back to that too? Just because you had to go through the shit, doesn't mean everyone else has to.
