Nobody believes in training any longer. Nobody.
That’s probably why they can’t fill openings.No one wants to charge overhead...the bean counters figure it’s better to hire foreigners for cheaper. Everyone knows no one has experience right out of school but it’s still cheaper to hire a bunch of people at lower wages, figuring on some of them becoming valuable, than spend money on training. Put them on contract money, then after the contract, if they are any good, keep them, if not, lay them off.
