Anyone here have links with Western Power training?

Young girl (16 and great) who lives next door to me is trying really hard to find an electrical apprenticeship without much luck and I've just been chatting to her about it and she said she'd be really interested in overhead and HV work. Thought it might be worth me trying to do some investigation....

Doesn’t she want to work with you and get the chance of meeting some band she likes?

Sadly, doesn't ever really work out that way - I've tried in the past with others. If I can justify the recruitment of a trainee onto a project, at the project's expense, then all's well. But as a business I can't even come close to a financial argument that allows for tens of thousands a year on flights, travel, hotels....

Plus anyone working alongside me would never be able to do the college side of life due to never being around and/or be totally bored in the gaps I get inbetween.

I remember about 20 years ago I did a couple of school work experience placements for lads who's parents I knew, and when the placement assesor came around to 'inspect' beforehand the look on his face when I said we'd be going away for the week, doing 14-16hr days and the kid would be in a hotel... he went away in a fluster saying he didn't have a form for any of that!!
