As we mentioned, there was an opportunity here to mandate that employers use apprentices for any infrastructure building that government does. Part of the problem is that third-year apprentices are much more expensive than second-year apprentices, so employers will hire first-year and second-year apprentices to do work. Third-year apprentices have a much more difficult time. Completing their apprenticeship training becomes very challenging.
