Next steps on apprenticeship? Advice needed from vets
Hey guys I’m just looking for some advice.
I’ve done my apprenticeship under a social housing company and it has left me with limited to little no commercial and industrial experience.
On top of that due to budgets all the apprentices got made redundant so I was unable to stay within the company that had trained me up.
How do I go about going into the commercial sector? I’ve looked in multiple forums and people say the transition from domestic to industrial is too drastic. Or should I stay with domestic until I get more experience underneath me?
I’m worried if I stay in domestic too long, the harder the transition it is for me to go into either commercial or industrial. It’s hard as I’ll be getting my gold card soon and to go onsite with no experience within those industries is a bit of a piss take from an employers stand point. I’d be happy to work for way less just to get the experience.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and gives some advice.
