Looking for work experience

[Eddy29]

I have just passed my city & guilds 6129 and currently studying for my ACS qualifications. I am looking to gain work experience to complete my NVQ. I am willing to work for free. Can anyone help from south wales or the surrounding area? Thanks

Better of getting a job at sainsbury's it pays more and the prospects are better, read the countless other threads on this subject this industries had it.

I know but I dont want to work in a supermarket for the rest of my life. I want to complete my qualifications and work in this industry even if it means working for free.

know loads of plumbers working for a company on 8.50ph doing full house refits and guess what? all now redundant theres so little work! Theres so many experienced plumbers out of work you have very little chance, been like this for a few years now and getting worse.

you may well have to do that for a few years imo.
then in say 10 years it could earn you around £18k p.a depending on your u.s.p.!
