@RupertLowe10 We need more funding in schools for after school clubs and extra-curricular activities.
Children are victims to knife culture - whether they’re carrying one or fleeing from one.
They need our investment and time - they’re our future, after all!
@RupertLowe10 Started my apprenticeship in the height of COVID and can happily say I’ve passed and am now qualified.
It’s hard work, early days and late nights - but it was worth it. Too many people are taking up useless university degrees that go nowhere. Apprenticeships are 100% the way!
Forget going to university for gender studies or whatever other nonsense is on offer. Diving into huge debt, for what? Spend a few years dossing about? Not worth it.
The solution? Apprenticeships. I love them. Get on the tools, learn a trade, develop an actual career.
We have got a painful skills shortage in the UK, and it is getting A LOT worse.
Government needs to be doing FAR more to encourage young boys and girls into the trades. That means apprenticeships - I'd like to see practical learning offered even earlier than now.
A lad might not be great at algebra or know much about coastal erosion, but I bet he can mend a sink or install some wiring. Give him the chance to do it!
I've developed hundreds and hundreds of apprentices through my companies, with the help of my teams - this is the way.
Trust me when I say this. If you don't know what to do with your life? DO NOT go to university.
Learn a trade.
AI can't wire a building or install piping.
It's a career for life, and if you work hard - it can often lead to starting your own business.
That's my advice, for what it's worth.
Happy to say that after 4 long years of hard work, filled with working away from home, working nights & multiple 12 hour shifts;
I am now a fully qualified Electrician!
Very excited for my future ❤️ @pdkelectrical
