Trainee ....

[prg123]

Hi,

My nephew is really finding it difficult getting a trainee job, he has (I think 6 gcses).

He really wants to get into IT but all companies are looking for people with experience.

He would be willing to work for a very low salary to start to get his foot on the ladder.

If you have any positions that might be suitable, please PM me.

Thanks for reading.

Oops sorry, he currently lives in Bracknell Berkshre, anywhere in the south east would be good for him.

He's applied for a IT training company, but the spaces filled up too quickly, he has also sent out hundreds of applications and CVs but has only yielded two interviews

He just needs to get the initial foot up and to show what he can really do.

perhaps if someone has a company who is willing to give him two weeks (perhaps for free) to show what he can do, he would be up for it......

To get his foot in the door help desk work.

But surely if a company took him on a a trainee trained him and gave him a very low salary
With clauses in his contract to say he has to stay for at least 2 years the company is going to get a bargain.

Eg...

8k salary
10k training over 2 years

I would expect him to be productive at the latest 8 weeks so over a 2 year period the same trained person would be
Significantly more expensive.

Thanks craig I have passed on the link

Thanks Lardy I will get him to talk to fujitsu

He hasn't gone on to A Levels, as he is not really academic person, he had to retake his GCSEs at college that's why he has only just got onto the job market ( he is 19 )

I'll get him to talk to the local authority, although I have looked at bracknell forest council ad there aren't many vacancies

I think initially help desk is the way to go, I think longer term hardware or software support.

Hmmmm prince2 training that would cost a fortune when I did it a few years a go I know it cost the company I worked for a lot of money. Probably better for him to start at the bottom and work his way up.

Thanks for that slurm you do make sense ..... He's actually applied for a job at the apple store in reading ..... Not sure it's quite the stepping stone he wants. But I think it's easier to get a job when your in a job. If you know what I mean
