It's really important that they are listening to the fact that we need to get more young
00:04
people into work. Young people are absolutely crucial to the future of business. For us
00:09
as an employer, without the apprentices we wouldn't have a future of business. The industry
00:15
has a massive deficit of people starting to those leaving the industry, so initiatives
00:20
like this helps encourage that through apprenticeships.
00:22
It's good to see that they're actually coming to Peterborough to see what we actually think
00:26
rather than doing it from where they are, because then we can give our opinion across.
00:31
I think it's certainly promising and hopefully moving in the right direction for the young
00:36
generation. We need to encourage apprenticeships a lot more, and anything that helps do that
00:43
has got to be a step in the right direction, definitely.
00:46
I'd say apprentices are the lifeblood of many businesses in Peterborough.
00:50
Oh yes, they are the future. When you have an ageing workforce, you need the young blood
00:56
to be able to get the skills from the older generation passed on down, so you keep moving
01:02
forward all the time. If you don't do that, you lose skill in the workshop, in the workplace,
01:08
which you can't really afford to lose.
01:11
My age at 23, or people who are 10 or 11 years old, when you start getting into secondary
01:20
school, it needs to be promoted, because it's always just college or just university
01:25
or sixth form or alternatives, and good alternatives.
01:29
I think it's positive. I think they're understanding now that apprenticeships aren't always shown
01:36
to people of my age at 23, or people at 10 or 11 years old. When you start getting into
01:46
secondary school, it needs to be promoted, because it's always just college or just university
01:52
or sixth form or alternatives, and good alternatives.
