The most interesting bit is the last sentence of the story.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-31550473


So what do you get paid these days if you go to college when you leave
school?

Surely this isn't how it works

the 2.73 (or whatever) is the pay rate for the time that the Apprentice
actually works for the employer.

I know that they need to be overseen but they must be doing some useful
work during that period

Do they also get paid for the tim whilst at college, I really don't know


Has anyone actually read the last sentence of the link?

It says "In the meantime, apprentices are earning an average of £6.79 to
£11.63 an hour depending on their level of apprenticeship" and then compare
them with the minimum wages for U18s, 18 to 20 year olds.

And yes of course they get paid to attend college and they also get paid to
attend other training courses.
