The uptake on apprenticeships is of concern. Why they're getting in a little later, I understand that. The completion of them would be a major deterrent. It would impair them in being able to pursue the work. Things like EI would be an annoyance as well.
What else are you seeing beyond those two? Why has the success rate in bringing tradespeople on to journeyman status...why have so many slipped off the road along the way? The success rate is really not great.
