jobs in ireland

[Eoin]

does anyone know if companies/employers in ireland are still taking on apprentices?
I was paid off from my electrical apprentiship about 2 months ago and i cant find work anywhere. :( Its really frustrating!! Companies only seem to be taking on fully qualified people now!
I'm trying soo hard not to end up in a dead ender atm but its not lookin too hopefull.

No idea, but it's tough times - fully qualified and experienced workers are now taking lower paid jobs than they're used to and are over-qualified for just to have a job.

umm, do you only wanna find work in Ireland? I know people take on apprentices elsewhere in the UK.

that is tight that they have cut you off mid-way. is there not a local college that you can take a similiar course in for free or for so little money?

ive got distant relatives in ireland so it would be easier for finding accomodation etc.

i had a day release at work on which i went to college and gained my nvq level 1 in electrical installation. i could go to college to gain a level 2 (which is industry standard to become fully qualified once your time-served). its full time though. id prefer not to do this because i wont be earning any money, but i guess it could be a good backup plan.

cheers.

go self employed, easier these days.

You can't become a self-employed electrician right off the bat.

couldnt go self employed cuz im not fully qualified. only completed nvq 1 in installation.
gonna go for this (http://www.scottish-southern.co.uk/SSEINTERNET/POWERFULOPPORTUNITIES/Public/Apprentices.aspx) though, big company so it would be a mazin job :D
