TESP calls on industry to offer T Level placements

electricalcontractingnews.com/.../



I totally agree with this concept to get people trained in the theory and the onsite practical skills.

What I see as a big stumbling block is

Most companies insurance won’t have 16-17 year olds on the books.  As an industry we need to educate our insurance companies.



As always please be polite and respectful in this purely academic debate.





Come on everybody let’s help inspire the future.

    Employer may have to double check any caveat with employers liability terms and conditions, but apart from that risk assessmnets etc to be produced where young persons are employed and any mitigation on what they can and cant do or get involved with.
