Most IT jobs start after the level of an apprentice.

We feel our's has worked well for us, the apprentices we've hired, and those that have found careers after our apprenticeship.

But to be honest your actually training technicians - I would bet labelling some one with lower status is not helping.

Well I did start out as a mech eng tech on the vocational track so I actually have experience.

Its more the perception that you will give others that "professional" software development is a lesser profession.

The other professions call this CPD imagine a junior doctor being told now you have your md your going to be doing an aprentiship the AMA would go nuts!
