Joes a hero!🎉

Brilliant insight into Joe’s story….. and a genuinely nice bloke 👏🏼👏🏼

Great episode 🎉

Pays shit as apprentice, bosses always complain about paying for the apprentice and don't make them feel like they want them around then wounder why they left 😂 plus colleges are not payed for by your boss it's government funded the only part the boss pays is your salary which is literal slave wage 😂

Loved recording this podcast🙌🏼🙌🏼

Good watch

🎉🎉🎉

PB, I bought the plumbers PB velocity 8.0. I fix the elderly and disabled plumbing emergencies for free, never had any recognition for it but I still do it 🙌🏼

You can see the passion in their eyes for super trowel. Fantastic effort, lads.👊👊👊👊👊👊

It's such a difficult conversation as so many things need to change. We couldn't agree more with the view that schools need to change their tune and tell students that becoming a tradesperson is a great alternative to further education. The schooling system needs to offer an approach that caters to students who prefer the more 'practical' subjects, such as design technology. For example, they could build this out to cover the very basics of the trades. It's only a quick example and would need to be thought through more by those who design school curricula. Following school education, colleges and apprenticeships need to improve. Whilst apprenticeships in other industries work for some, the trades industries are a different kettle of fish. Trade apprenticeships can get messy, especially for one-person bands, or smaller companies can struggle with onboarding apprentices due to multiple factors. We have offered trade courses for the past 20+ years and tried to create an apprenticeship scheme, but Covid had other plans for it. However, we're back and trying to help tackle the issue by bringing together apprentices and employers through tailored apprenticeships in Gas (Level 3) and Smart metering (Level 2) with other trades to roll out in the future. The idea is to make the process of hiring and training an apprentice as easy and streamlined as possible, with options for the apprentice to upskill to the employee's needs. We're not trying to give a sales pitch; we wanted to let people know that the views are slowly changing, with individuals and companies attempting to tackle the skill gap. A lot more development is needed. Thankfully, people like yourselves and On The Tools are raising awareness of the issue. Here are some links about apprenticeships for the apprentice, the employer, funding and our apprenticeships for anyone that is looking for further information: www.apprenticeships.gov.uk/ www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/gas-engineering-operative-v1-2 www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/dual-fuel-smart-meter-installer-v1-2 www.gov.uk/employing-an-apprentice apprenticeships.logic4training.co.uk/

Good watch with Lewis 👍

Love this episode! Take a break Lew!!!

Wow for being the fastest bricklayer which is really badass you get a tool bag. Totally worth all the hours invested

Really enjoyed this! Learning about the builders life, wish I did something like this when I was young.

Always wondered what Ryland did with his old teeth 🤔

If the pay is right, then yes.

I don't like the redefinition and meaning of words. I wouldn't be too concerned. I get called nasty words all of the time. Nearly always misinterpreted, possibly willfully or thru ignorance, and as such, taken out of context. Have you read, Thomas Sowell's book, "Race and Culture". Loafer has. Lancashire Hotpots. I fear Ikea. Silly. There is a world of difference between Ikea and intergenerational trades. The stone masons and the chippies. The Cruk arch is a thing of beauty. Built to last. Ikea furniture, however...? I shop at Lidl. Stuck in the Lidl with you. - Everly Pregnant Brothers. Silly.

Enjoying it

Really enjoyed recording this podcast with Lewis..... was alot of fun. Drop a comment and let us know what you thought....

Trade Legends | Construction Industry Podcast, nice content keep up the amazing content

Best place to purchase please

More of the usual “aren’t things so hard for women” and “aren’t men so terrible” from the presenter. Would prefer a more balanced perspective rather than white knighting every woman that comes on the show, but I’m sure as usual you’ll just get offended by this and throw a petty comment towards me like last time

Simp 😂

"Sorry about that" 😂😂😂

Its amazing that this attitude against construction, skilled trades and crafts seems to exist throughout the school system. I've heard more than one speaker on TradesLegends podcasts speak about it. Maybe a Woodwork / DT teacher would be a good guest for a future episode.

I had a good experience doing agency labouring with Core

Not everyone needs a podcast and this is a perfect example

It’s not misogyny, darling. It’s a fucking joke. The men are between men all the time. If you want to be in industry you gotta take it on the chin.

Toughen up

No way is there a bricklaying league😭

Man like Ash 👏

Thanks for the mention guys. 5 years, 7000 + into work roles over 100k of funding into training providers. Its not a business model as such. Basically use revenue to give back to industry both in time and money. Which was originally just to support learners during Covid but has kept going. We now have a small but free training space for the electrical sector from core skills through to renewables. Plenty of recruitment style agencies around the UK exist in all construction sectors for apprenticeships. Some are free, most paid. Industry are working with government right now to transform how apprenticeships are delivered. The community of Apprentice 121 is open to all. The core solution is engaging at a grassroots level in places social media can not reach. I wish I could do more as we dont help many many more people then we ever did. The true volume/scale is staggering. Keep it up.

I think it would be a good idea to have a course set in place where young people from college. Can go to multiple company’s throughout the year. 1 day a week at a different company. Maybe even different types of trades. So then the kids can experience how companies differ. And also the company can meet multiple students. More chance of getting a good match. Rather than being stuck with 1 individual for months or years and then having to let them go and start over again if they perform badly.

This is a really good episode, and quite inspiring as a one man band planning expansion. Surprised it's got so few views.

I was reasonably academic at school but would have been much better off learning a trade or a craft. I finished university with a 2.1 but I was massively stressed and burned out. I managed to get some experience working in a craft with a company and am now in a position where I can go to college at 29, couldn't be happier

Some of the best tradespeople and craftspeople I have met could have easily gone into other professional careers like medicine, legal etc, its always impressive to see

Great episode and guests

I've suffered with OCD since I was 8. I'm now 66. Antidepressants are the right treatment... in particular SSRI's. But what his doctor should have done is reffered him to a behaviour therapist for ERP, Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. You can't cure OCD but you can learn to control it. OCD is in the top 5 most debilitating disorders. There are genes involved.

A good apprentice will buy his own tools starting with the basics. I always enjoyed the visits to the tool shops they were like a sweet shop to me.

Wheres tiff

Into schools early. When in college on a construction course. The colleges have to update the curriculum that they offer. The apprenticeship standards need to be rewritten. Due to off the job hours and the math and English elements. The funding is complex for people and you get tied in. Apprentices get used to labour and stand about on the phone as the trade man havent got time to teach. As for getting people into teach colleges and training providers, they need to pay. (That's another story) My experience is that there is not a good provision being provided. Another factor is technology and money. The thought of going CIS or self-employed scares the youngsters. Put people on the books? Having taught and assessed for many years now this is the experienced comment I can give. A lot needs to change, schools, colleges and apprenticeship standards.

hi. what's the name of Joe's podcast?

Our Fred 😄

Give me 3 years then I’ll be 18 then off to trade school

The two police officers in this video are definitely from the rainbow department

👏

Did you see Adam’s face, knowing he’s just planning to do the very same to his boss 😂

Great show gents, really enjoyed this

Imagine stealing tools...some people are desperate.
