apprenticships

[MadMullah]

are you ever too old to apply for one?

[MonkeyHanger]

Officially you're never too old. Any company turning you down purely on age grounds would be on a sticky wicket. For many schemes funding is lower once you get into your mid 20's so companies prefer younger apprentices.

How old and what sort of apprenticeship?

[fergywales]

Minimum wage applies after 26.
