hi there folks, not written on here before but got plenty of great tips so thanks a million.

what i was wondering is if there were many apprentice type jobs as a way to get into the trade. I have recently gained my city and guilds in plastering and have been doing some private jobs but want to gain proper experience under a watchfull eye. i have also done some plastering and would like to get into it properly but it seems very hard these days to get into a firm as an improver .

thanks for reading and any help would be much appreciated
