But after leaving college with a level 1 NVQ in plumbing under his belt
he is still searching for work 18 months later! So unsurprisingly Michael hasn't had much choice but to resort to job seekers allowance so that he can continue to travel to the job centre.
Michael said he has applied for over 190 jobs and has only managed to get himself a months temporary placement in the whole time he has been searching.
It does make you think about the future of the trade if company's cant take apprentices on.
