Thomas Nagy and Paul Meenan look into plans to try and incentivise routes into teaching the trade, specifically for the aging workforce and discuss why there's not attractive enough benefits for those willing to teach but not prepared to sacrifice most of their income in the process.

Tom talks about what it would take for him to teach and Paul explains why roadblocks in industry are creating problems.
