[QUOTE="Jon48, post: 468676, member: 30498"] Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with your comment about the fact that age shouldn’t be a barrier to training, I suppose my concern is that some industries have a very traditional ‘baked in’ hierarchy in the way they are set up and in the way you progress within them- apprenticeship just out of school (almost exclusively male), working then as an electrician’s mate etc; for some people, taking on a trainee that is older than them can take too much imagination, it’s as if your upsetting the delicate balance of the universe or something. But if everyone else in the business is as encouraging and open minded as yourself that’s encouraging, cheers. I live in Cardiff. [/QUOTE]
