A new apprentice?

Wow, your congressman can read?...

Yeah, he even writes back when I e-mail him.
I tell him not to vote for something that will kill jobs, and he writes back explaining why I am wrong.
They all know what's best for us Rusty, so I probably shouldn't bother writing him since he's always right.

It's the New Zealand goverment who will subsidise the wages...mostly for school leavers I understand.
Probably not much help for you US based people!

No not just school leavers Paul, you can get funding for anyone who wants a job but I do think there is an age limit up to 30yrs .......

Thanks for that....I haven't looked into it in any detail, I only know what I've been told.
It may be worth investigating...

Isn't there something about having to get someone who has been unemployed for a length of time to get that funding?

Yeah Jon that's what I thought.
It used to be that they had to have been registered unemployed for 6 months plus....
Probably don't want to work at all

And probably unemployable anyway

It so nice to see the possitive out look you too have I have employeed many apprentices and yes there were duds but most were really good! How about we all stick our heads in the sand and then lets see where this trade will be in the future.

You dont need to have been unemployeed for 6 months, at least my brothers apprentice wasnt , talk to the co ordinator he will give you the heads up. As far as I can see it a win win situation, you get to rest your back, they get to see if its what they want to do and it costs you fack all. Your co ordinator comes in every month to see how everything is going and with this new 90day trial period thingy if it dont work out your free to let them go. Not rocket science really

Fair call.
I'll give him a call on Monday and request more info re subsidies etc.

 

[FYIfloors]

Good on ya mate, your a legend.

 

[Jon]

I am talking one through the Labour Dept. The longer they are unemployed the higher the subsidy
