How interesting - the monkeys at ET are allowing us to comment on the clown Purcell and his attempts to persuade us that liebour are doing the right thing by Glasgow and at the same time we are not allowed to comment on Alex Salmond and the SNP government's bills to be introduced in order to improve things for Scotland and all Scots. Well quelle surprise but of course ET you still managed to get a comment or five from the check out chick Jamieson - ET you are a rubbish liebour rag - always have been always will be.

PURCELL SAYS,,,,,,,,Mr Purcell added: "We have an,less over the next few years, particularly with the Commonwealth Games coming, to secure apprenticeships for many more school leavers."
He said the 2014 Games would bring significant physical regeneration, increase tourism, job creation, and private and socially rented accommodation. The Athletes' Village, to be built in Dalmarnock, would be used for housing after the event.
And if the comenwealth games were not coming there would be less apprentices,less opportunity never mind the whopping bill were landed with.Then he says The Athletes' Village will be used for social housing my a8re they,ll sell it to the highest bidder no doubt one of the many cronies they except illegal back handers from PURCELL must be removed so he has no part in any games and as syd says they have.... social housing will come... these bungling monkeys have been in power in this city for 60 years and in that time Glasgow has went from a proud industrial powerhouse to an irrelevant wee nyaff of a city... the shipyards babcock to name a few used to take thousands of apprentices!!!!!! a know a was one and another thing it was a 4 year apprentice ship not these made up 2 year shots

They have taken some bold decisions on Energy Policy and are working to improve the Health Service and more importantly they are listening to the public more than Labour ever did.

Council bashing aside, can people like Sydney, Fredo and Butterfly not just be happy for the young people who have worked hard to gain an apprecticeship? Which i can tell you is no easy task.
You will probably be the same people who come on here and complain that the Council isnt doing enough to encourage our young people to work, and will say the Council dont provide enough services.
Read the comments of the young people interviewed, they are delighted to be in employment and have some sort of secure plan for the future.
Instead of using every excuse to be negative, why dont you give us all a break and and commend the pro-active youngsters who are willing to go out and work.

An apprenticeship should insist on at least an SVQ level 3. The SVQ level 2 is exceptionally basic.
Personally I think a City & Guilds qualification in any trade is far superior to any SVQ or NVQ certificate. These were brought in, around 20 years ago, to dumb down the levels required for your tradesmen.
Also the loss of so many excellent technical colleges hasn't helped. The new 'universities' aren't really interested in vocational skills and cannot attract the quality of staff required in these areas. Shame.

Isn't it sad that we have to commend youngsters who are 'willing' to go out to work? It shouldn't be a case of being willing, it should be a case of necessity for them for many reasons.
Just shows how low we have dropped as a society. Time the benefits system was overhauled - take it back 40 years and youngsters will then hopefully realise, once they're able to drink and vote, then they're responsible enough to pay their own way within society.

I'm not quite sure what point you are trying to make here? It may be lost in all the punctuation and spelling mistakes.
But anyway, my cousin was one of the young school leavers who was actively looking for a joinery apprenticeship this spring/summer. He eventually got one, but from all the effort I saw he put into finding a placement in a slowing area of the economy, I felt that he should be commended.
To Subrosa, perhaps "willing" may have been the wrong word choice, but I still stand by my view.

Fair enough its a good thing for the folk getting the apprenticeships but hasnt this been announced umpteen times already.

Mr Purcell's further booming project........didn'
t we have a booming financial sector thanks to him. And now its all gone belly up not a word of a replacement?!?! Ok I never believed Glasgow labour had anything to do with companies coming to the city but they certainly suggested they did have, Mr purcell's face constantly in this rag. Now they all go one by one and not a word? Should be full of praise for this but it difficult that only time this mob are about is when something good is occurring.
