I WRITE in relation to your article "Apprentices need to be fired-up with some real enthusiasm", (7 February).

We should be very concerned about the apprentice drop-out rate of 25 per cent. Not solely because it reflects a poor attitude by some young people to hard work but how we, as the older generation, are often failing to guide the young in the right way.

Brought up with hope, ambition and an understanding of hard work, I believe young people would want jobs.
