Spoke to an REC
today who was liaising with an A-Grade on electricianXchange.
After he'd spoken I asked him how did he go?
And he said something which should make anyone
working for a GTO or Labour Hire Company feel very afraid of - becoming
redundant, learning few marketable skills.
What he said was:
"Look this kid had done just under two
years after his apprenticeship, but the way it works is that when they work for
a GTO, after they've finished their apprenticeship they are labour hired out
and then they go from site to site doing very basic work."
So I asked him - surely after two years he'd
have had relevant experience?
And he said:
"No - our kids (those doing apprenticeship
directly with him) go through a lot more rigor and a lot more training, so the
kids coming out after apprenticeship with him and the kids with the GTO's are
like chalk and cheese in terms of the work variety and electrical complexities
they'd have covered in two years post-apprenticeship."
And this prompted me to write this article - because you may not even realise this.
What you don't know, can actually hurt you - financially.
So if you are with a GTO / Labour Hire company - be mindful that your skills are not getting the polishing it needs and the longer you stay there, the worse it gets.
