Everything But The Weed

Lately there has been a greater emphasis placed on young people to stay at school, finish their A levels and carry on to university. This has lead to more vocational routes being neglected . Young people, who maybe to well-suited to more ‘hands on work’, are being pressured to stay on a more scholastic career path.

The plumbing industry has experienced the average age of working plumbers escalate over the decades , showing that the avenues once open to young people to be trained vocationally are closing.

With upcoming campaigns to raise tuition fees, an high number of school leavers will be left wondering which job to pick. Where people once blamed universities of making it simple to obtain   a degree, the raise in fees will force schools to show more clearly which other paths are open to school leavers. This will encourage schools to show their pupils other ways in which they can carry on learning after school, and careers in Plumbing will be one of the avenues in which people can learn while earning.   

There are a few of varying ways in which people can receive a plumbing qualification. Firstly you could attend college courses, where there would be specific training in elements of pluming. Colleges have close links with the industry, which could lead to employment upon finishing the qualification. Secondly, there are apprenticeship opportunities, working with an employer. There would still be some theoretical aspects to this, and most applicants would attend college either one day a week or in a block week of teaching every six weeks.

It is not only young people who have been showing more of an interest in a career in Plumbing. People who have been let go  from more office based jobs, have shown an interest in more ‘hands on’ profession.
