00:00I think the issue with my job is there's no feeder trades into what I do, I'm a medical

00:04engineer by trade because we don't have the electronics industry that we once had or the

00:08TV industry so there's no feeder trades actually into what we do.

00:12I had a choice of jobs, absolutely, a huge choice of jobs. Nowadays I think it's the

00:20way they operate the job employment scene. You would go into a job centre before or look

00:28at an advert in a paper. Now it seems to be harder for the young people.

00:33We have to train our own people and put them through college ourselves so we don't actually

00:39have very, very few direct entry people nowadays.

00:43I'm retired, my ideal job, I don't think I have an ideal job, maybe a park stranger,

00:48maybe something that would be nice but I do feel for young people getting into the jobs

00:51market is so difficult, so difficult and I think we need to look at things a bit more

00:57seriously and help more people get into employment.
