There is a problem with the agency pros and cons section.
1 ATAs (Apprenticeship Training Agencies) are now defunct and were replaced by FJAAs (FlexiJob Apprentice Agencies)
2. FJAAs are not a Local Labour Agency and construction companies do not have the type of issues mentioned with a FJAA as they might have with a Local Labour Agency. It is very misleading to conflate the two.
