As far as I can see, you guys have no idea about training an apprentice, have any of you actually taken the time to give your own skills and experience to someone entering the trade?
Comments like BIB gave would tend to suggest a lack of "people skills", this sort of thing would suggest a short-sighted idea of apprentice training.
There is absolutely NO need for any animosity(sp??) towards apprentices, just remember when you did your time, if you got that treatment, why inflict that on the next generation?
I have successfully trained both Electrical and Line Mechanic apprentices, no need for talk the likes of "I'm your Supervisor/Boss, you should already know what I'm talking about"
An apprenticeship is hard enough to do, with night school and what-not.
An employer/ Supervisor with a bad attitude, only compounds things.
Apprentices need attention at the first stage of their work, they will be forever doing work like you show them, if your work is rubbish, that will be instilled into the apprentice.
