Ay up . Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a grant  / funding or apprenteship to take on a school leaver . My sons mate has just left and is hassling me for a job . He's a good honest lad who I've known years so I would like to give him a chance . I'm picking up work but not quite enough to give him full time . So was wondering if anyone has managed to get anything like that before . Cheers. Barry .
