Basically im wanting to do a modern apprenticeship, and im aware that there's quite a few people doing them on the forum and basically i'd like to know how you got apprenticeship, because the majority of people i know have all had help from their parent's knowing somebody or pullin some string's and im finding it really hard without any help doing it on my own, i've written to multiple building contractor's from which i havent had any replies, My CITB assesment is in a few days, the college side of things is fine just the actual apprenticeship, how many company's did you write too? how many got back to you? how long did it take to receive reply's etc. all help will be greatly appreciated
