most of them would barely qualify as a horse holder, and there isn't a big call for horse holders now days...The Government does little right. Who would hire a worker who went through Government “re-training?” They’d surely do their best to run your company into the ground.
to keep the unemployment as low as possible, the govt is hiring anybody off the street at staggering rates, of course, paying them with our tax money.
>> Yet for all the popularity of these government-financed programs, there are questions about whether they actually work, even as President Obama’s stimulus plan directs $1.4 billion more to retraining
Of course these programs work! Here’s a detailed roadmap of how the money waters the “green shoots of recovery”:
a) If you’s a big ‘Rat gangsta contributor, you work da machine and get your name on da list as a brotha what runs a retrainin’ thing... dig?
b) Da bling flows you way
c) You goes to fancy restaurants and spends da money... or gets yourse’f a new grille... or some wheels...
d) All dem bizness ownas what runs dem restaurants and dem car delas and such hires new workas.
There. See? Simple as ABC...
that is, “All ‘Bout Corruption”
The only ones benefitting from this retraining are the community colleges.
One word CETA.
The guy is clueless.
He’s going to be like someone trapped in quicksand and he sill drag us down with him.
most of them would barely qualify as a horse holder, and there isn't a big call for horse holders now days...I knew a lady who enrolled in a job retraining program back during the Clinton years. It was very underwhelming, to hear her tell it. Very basic job training programs geared to entry-level positions. Certainly nothing satisfactory to someone coming from a skilled trades position or most white collar office jobs.
In all fairness, I don’t know if that’s the norm for these kinds of programs, or if the woman I knew had an atypical experience. Just sayin’ the one I do know about seemed to be basically worthless.
I didn’t realize working as a Walmart greeter required any re-training.
Retraining for what?
Obama and the democrats are intentionally, systematically annihilating the US economy, in order to grow the government.
I have just one thing to say about Obama's "green jobs": You want fries with that?
Pretty tough to do when you're completely out of money. When you leave you need a stake--a sum to pay for rent on a room or apartment, pay for food, transportation, utilities, and a phone while you look for work. If you're penniless because you've been out of work for months, where could you get that stake? Or afford even to travel to another state, like Texas? BTW, once you've lost your job and are in financial trouble you usually can't pass a credit check to rent a room or apartment.
Not in my mind. Really just make work/bailouts for the trainers. For the Students just more subsidized Unemployment. Gov’t contractors actually training people to fill nonexistent job openings.
I can. It's becoming a job retraining instructor.
High hopes. LOL. We are all hoping for change in 2012.
I've been doing it for all of 3 seconds, and I can tell you that "bankruptcy attorney" is going to be one of the hot jobs.
“Nonetheless, a little-noticed study the Labor Department released several months ago found that the benefits of the biggest federal job training program were “small or nonexistent” for laid-off workers.”
Like this comes as news to anyone who doesn’t live in a hole out in a cornfield.
The college graduates coming into the job market with a 4 year degree can’t find work. How is some passant retraining program going to help?
I’ll tell you what would work... Slash corp. taxes, get rid of all the regulatory B.S. and let the private sector solve the problem.
The money quote.
Michigan is not gaining jobs. Neither is most of America. What jobs aren't being destroyed are fleeing overseas.
This is like the old 1930s CCC program except you're not handling a shovel building fire trails but taking classes employing teachers.
