I see this on a daily basis. Because of the high demand here in Alberta, the quality of apprentice has dropped, and not just a bit, a lot.
We used to have a very high success rate on the red seal, I'd say between 80-90 percent pass rate. Over the last 5 years or so, Im sure that has dropped to 50-60 percent.
Industry has dictated what is acceptable, they need people on site. So if you can fog a mirror, and pass a drug test, you have a job. The quality of apprentice, even new journey boy has drastically dropped.
