It would be awesome to have some from those areas. If you know of any: http://apprentice.at/submit/

Great insight!

We feel our's has worked well for us, the apprentices we've hired, and those that have found careers after our apprenticeship.

But to be honest your actually training technicians - I would bet labelling some one with lower status is not helping.

I don't believe so and I don't know that you have the insight into our program or our results to honestly make that evaluation.

Well I did start out as a mech eng tech on the vocational track so I actually have experience.

Its more the perception that you will give others that "professional" software development is a lesser profession.

The other professions call this CPD imagine a junior doctor being told now you have your md your going to be doing an aprentiship the AMA would go nuts!
