They have a system like that here in the building industry. You hire an apprentice, you get a lump sum incentive from the govt to begin with, and another one at the end of the apprenticeship. All of the education for the apprentice is nearly free.
It gets the kid off the street, it gets him paying taxes, he has a career, it makes the industry more competitive.
I had apprentices......why shouldn't I give them a job ??? Someone hired me as an apprentice when I first started......it's called giving something back.
The system has been working well here for years. Way to go.
