"In the past, we got people into the industry by word of mouth - through a relative or scaffolder friend. It helped to have someone they knew who they could be apprenticed under," said So Yu-hang, who is director of Wui Fai Holdings, a member of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Scaffolders General Merchants Association, and scaffolder for over 30 years.

I found this related article online. Bamboo Scaffolders are a dying breed - Not sure how seriously to take it though based on the name of the guy.

[EDIT - to make the name more obviously stand out]

When I grew up in Hong Kong, you saw this all the time. You would see 40 storey tall buildings from bottom to top covered in bamboo scaffolding. When you think about it, it must be super cheap, really strong, and biodegradeable.
