#Education #ShowerThought I've been going through the new Post-16 education and skills whitepaper and for all the potentially intelligent analysis I could offer I'm just left thinking, 'with all the recent coverage introducing 'V Levels' so that folk are encouraged to think about 'V-A-T Levels', seems like a bit of a marketing mis-step?!'

Apprenticeship Opportunities Become More Competitive as Businesses Struggle to Hire
The apprenticeship landscape has become increasingly competitive, with more individuals vying for limited positions, according to recent reports. While the number of people starting apprenticeship programs has risen by 40% over the past five years, securing an employer has become a significant chall... [More info]
As I feared, looks like my apprenticeship is a no go because I'm in the wrong team. I did mention this to the person who "sold" me the course, but he said it would be fine. I also raised it with work, who ignored it.
So I've just wasted 18 months of my life. I'm back to square one after putting it off for so long, and I'm *really pissed*. Agh! So frustrating!

Local nursery business celebrates double apprenticeship success
Just received another issue of the free German magazine 'fluter', which is aimed at teens like my son. This time, it's all about apprenticeships and learning a craft. The editor specifically mentions that many magazines like theirs could be written by AI soon. But AI won't be able to restore a valuable work of art or be a good chiropodist (at least not yet!).
It's an interesting read and a sign of the times.
And if you're wondering what's happening to the poor bloke's head on the cover: he's getting a traditional ear piercing with what looks like an old nail. 😬
Why? In Germany and other European countries, apprentices used to walk from town to town to learn their trade. (This journey was called "die Waltz".)
Before they set off, they'd get a gold earring, so they'd always have money in case of emergencies (or for their own funeral).
The magazine is free to download. Have a look!
