BREAKING The UK has such a shortage of butchers, bricklayers & welders that the Govt should allow vacancies to be filled by overseas workers. Migration Advisory Cttee (MAC) also says senior care workers & nursing assistants should be added to “shortage occupation list”

@DannyShawBBC My son tried to get into welding for years, and as a ‘mature student’ not straight from school, managed to find jack shit because he was too old, in his early 20s. If that was happening to a lot of people like him = ten years later we have to few welders.

Karin Saelig 💙 @DannyShawBBC I don't understand why they didn't have a quota for over 18 yr olds as apprentices...it makes sense esp as we live in a world where it isn't a job for life..
