Titles should be given to people with advanced craft skills, in the same way that an academic with a PhD is called "Doctor".

The levels of apprenticeships are "poorly understood" by the public, the think tank says - and introducing titles could be a way of showing people's achievements.


Sign of respect

Those who have vocational qualifications equivalent to a university degree could be known as "craftsman" or "craftswoman", the think tank says.

    As already stated, with regard to "electricians", there is the JIB/ ECS grading scheme.

    It depends on the narrative of the age. In other times, a real craft skill and being seen as a master of it, was well regarded by society and well rewarded. Now, it seems, the pinnacle of achievement is Business Studies, Media/ Marketing and Naval Gazing Studies....and a lot of non jobs that do not seem to really achieve anything in particular, except to being seen as busy.
