tinfoilhat Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Paid to learn instead of paying to learn sounds good to me. As long as it's a decent recognised qualification (nvq3 level as well I guess?) why not? At 19 I'm still living at home and I've got more beer money than my mates who are at college come Friday night. But it really must involve teaching young uns though and not just an excuse to pay teenagers nothing for a menial job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaves to the system or what? http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/03/27/jobs-m27.html They will be paid the national minimum hourly wage for a 25-hour work week. The present minimum wage rates are just £6.31 (21 years old and over), £5.03 (18-20), £3.72 (under 18) and £2.68 (apprentice under 19) and? what do you want, it states thats the current minimum wage for those age bands?
