Would you be willing to employ say a 50 year old who has a solid employment history and references but doesn't actually have any City and Guilds/NVQ's in mechanics/engineering but has years of experience doing such like in their own time? Someone who certainly knows their way around a vehicle, workshop tools and machinery shall we say but in no way an 'expert' in any one aspect/field.
I'm guessing that say the managers of the big main dealers, Ford/Vauxhall etc, their hands maybe tied, even if they wanted to employ such a person, it wouldn't be possible due to head office rules? So this question is aimed at the smaller independent businesses really.![smile :) :)](/forum/styles/smilies/smile.gif)
It seems to me that most youngsters are not interested in these jobs period so will attitudes have to change when it comes to finding/replacing staff in the future??
