Take the control away from big tech

A UK outfit that fixes smartphones is calling for an official device repair apprenticeship .

TMT First introduced its own apprenticeship after struggling to find staff but is hacked off that there is no industry training standard. The outfit points out that there are less cars on the road and mechanics learning on nationally recognised apprenticeships

The company thinks that there are lots of young techy people out there who perhaps have even tinkered around with phones at home themselves, and are really interested in how they can do this better, and maybe create a career out of it.

TMT First's Adam Whitehouse said: "If you think about the technology and all the devices in our homes today, those things need repairing. And when people are taught the correct way of doing that, these devices will last for longer."
