Trades apprenticeship applications open in Knoxville - first time posting

A local apprenticeship programme is taking applicants for the next intake. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Applications close in 7 weeks. Did anyone go through it?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

You earn while you learn, but the first year is tight. Plan your budget carefully.
