   There's a new wave of retirements that'll be hitting the job market soon and I just wanna say: bring back apprenticeships. Bring back 0 prior experience with the opportunity to grow and teach others. Ya.

     This applies to non profit sector work too. The number of times NPOs dissolve because it was just 1 person's passion and absolutely no one else to transition people on? Tragic oof. Please work on your onboarding. Burning people out is gross.

     @pixouls crazy how I am seeing job postings that require 6-8 years work experience for what is essentially bottom-of-the-ladder position. they think these people actually exist? :thaenkin:

     @theruran not if internship experience is not allowed. Even if my internship is just me roleplaying for a full time position they're putting off hiring for because internship labor is cheaper.,, anwuaa

     @pixouls FWIW I have no desire to be anybody's "boss" but mentoring people into roles is my dream job.

     @pixouls unfortunately "apprenticeship" to a lot of employers and schools alike has meant "you can pay this desperate young person less than minimum wage AND take away their chance at a future if they complain lmao" for a good long while now
