How to get into the trade whilst re-training

[felix1288]

Hi,

I’m an adult learner, just completed my level 2 and 18th edition. How do you get into the trade? Every mate/improver job I see you need experience, own tools etc. It feels like no one is willing to give you a chance or even respond to you.

Do you have any proveable on-site experience?

Without real experience you are unlikely to find any job in the trade. Having qualifications doesn't mean anything if you don't have the experience to back them up.

Did you manage to get into the trade ?
