have u not thought to getting him setting a little business up?
Thats what i did as part time (before getting my qualifications) i started when i was fifteen just getting a little bit of work at a time and building it up as a part time job, i now 22 and i employ 6 members of staff for part time work and 3 members of staff full time and my self 6 days a week now i maybe having a member of staff leaving for another job, so i will certainly give your son a interview if he is interested in a job,
its bits of ground work, taking away logs and stacking them, also occasional tree jobs aka brashing up and general labouring, also Garden maintenance and landscaping but i expect a exceptional standards for my customers i also am taking on some tender work with consists of ride on lawn mower work.
Now its not all that exciting but i can offer your son a interview next week, if you can get him to email me via morthill.gardenservices@googlemail.com
and send me his cv too or a little cover letter that be smashing.
Thanks.
