I endorse apprenticeship programs 111%.
They teach the “right” way of doing the trade,rather than someone who has done it wrong for so long,they have convinced themselves,that because they have gotten away with it…that it is right!
We need to reinstitute the apprenticeship programs especially in the construction trades.
