Yeah my dad is in the building trade always got rung up by collages when similar happened.

Most firms are happy to take you on cheap labour and with any luck get a job at the end.

Couple mates had the exact same happen to them while doing their plumbing apprenticships, college sorted them out with a new company.

What year are you in & what kind of joinery are you doing with current company?
