[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One nephew is doing double apprenticeship as electrician and home construction. He is in demand already.

After a two year diploma in hospitality services, a niece worked as an apprentice sous chef for an airline. She has been promoted to supervisor after just one year.

Another niece has an apprenticeship with Toyota services, loves it and has work for life since many people hang on to Toyotas far longer than most other cars.

Most others in our family have college degrees but it is definitely not for everyone.

There are many paths to success and happiness. Good luck to your son. [/quote]

Np - could you please expand on the internship with Toyota services? My ds has been working at a grocery store since he graduated high school and is looking for a new challenge. He does not enjoy school and has no desire to go to college. This sounds like a great idea bc he likes cars. [/quote]

I will ask her next time we have family chat.

As far as I know, the Toyota dealership owner is a  friend of my sister so the connection helped. Toyota dealerships make more money on services department than sales. Niece is apprenticed and loves it.

I would ask around at Toyota dealerships or garages that specialize in Toyotas and ask about their apprentice programs. I would also suggest working on getting super solid recs and doing research about whatever dealership he applies to. It probably differs state by state regarding minimum requirements but niece only had high school certificate.

Looking into Honda dealerships may be another good option as they are also very reliable cares many people keep for many years.

Good luck …[/quote]
