I don't understand; are there legal reasons to not call it an
apprenticeship? (sounds like indentured servitude....?)
When I got started in the biz, I would have loved to been offered an
apprenticeship. Instead, I went out in the woods while my family
suffered through my well intentioned, but misinformed experiments. After
many years I got better, but I still had no one to sign off for my
license or NABCEP.
The next generation of installer does not need to suffer ( at least as
much)

I think you should describe the job as a trainee. You can do anything
you want after that. Just don't call it an apprenticeship.

Hi Bob;
That's an excellent point. I'm trying to figure out what is a fair
arrangement: 4 years of training is worth quite a sum of money
vs. 4 years of labor in the off grid mines.
Straight up $10/ hr and I'll train them for as long as they can be
trained with raises as they reach milestones like: they can go on
a troubleshooting visit on their own.
I think some off grid living experience is a prerequisite as
mentioned before, also they've got to be able to deal with basic
math and electrical equations.
Any other prerequisites before I create an unobtainable person?
