Have not heard of any problems down south but the need for upward pathways in any industry is paramount Hunter the punter 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljay 1,711 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 Has the Cadet scheme faded from existence? A prominent stable has advertised for a Junior (or prospective Junior) to join the ranks. In days past, and not too past, such a position would have been snapped up from among the ranks of the cadets without the need to advertise. Surely this position would be the cream for young prospective horsemen (or women) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amateur courses are okay but down here (Chch) you have to get the drives to progress. Got stuck myself on novice drives at the workouts before they stopped running them before I completed the requirement of ten drives to progress to full status and moving on the advanced and was told the only way to progress was to take out trial licence to get to graduation status. If we have to do it that way why give up graduation to do amateur driving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim vince 985 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 It's not just driving it's about training for stable work track driving etc.not necessarily for the young aspiring drivers.it would help employers if they can access at least partly trained staff.
