In reply to Boulden:
Can't see you earning much rowing across the ocean for several months.. (Joke?)
I'm just emphasing that all things well, the lifestyle is worth plenty, admittedly the industry probably loses because the awards are so expensive relative to this low income, prohibiting the lifestyle being a true relation to the pounds paid by the social services and schools who pay lots to accredited businesses. They probably pay lots.v.much.LOTS.
So lots of skivvies and quite a few majorly well paid types with vested interests in keeping income related to awards they have and completed training programmes one step ahead and out of reach to many of those in regular or full time work in the industry.
However, get the job, start working in the centre, for that time it will not feel like that, .... the countryside has no doors. (kinda) Perhaps your personality will then walk through these no longer there doors.

25 years ago I began work as a trainee (in the building industry), the pay was £3650 pa with all the training and day release included. You'll no doubt have many excellent applicants, every one of them will be worth more than £1.70 p/h. How can you do it?

Accommodation and all expenses are worth £5000 p.a, okay they might be cramped, specified instead of chosen, but this is a nearly £9000 placement. It more needs noting how N.G.B awards are vital to freedom to operate outside of your last employment contract. Without them the work could have been rewarding beyond a decent income, with them this employer is offering good jobs to potentially successful individuals and not just members of staff. Some decent expensive NGB's need paying for by the employer, plus memberships of the relevant sport body. Otherwise you will need a good references and a fortunate landing in the next similar job or as said, decent money from a complete change of job to earn a start next time.

How is it possible to pay below the minimum wage? Its not a apprenticeship. Could I open a factory. offer a NGB training give the guy a room to sleep in the back give him 3 bowls of soup a day. Why are people allowed to exploit those keen to find work in a interesting sector? disgusting
