Sounds like a fantastic opportunity to me!
Its about time that units had a responcability to train thier staff - and this comes from someone who had been digging for three odd years before a unit finaly taught me to use an edm!! Aparently its pointless as someone else could do it and there was no time. This was not just at one unit but at quite a large number!
Still not as bad as on one site where new workers were given no training just told there wasnt time and given shovels or wheelbarrows and cleared up after the other staff! May have given them a few month exp to go on the old cv but not much else!
Its now generally accepted that university degrees are failing those who have archaeological ambition outside acedemia so this must be the next logical course of action - develop them in the field.
