"Job training is the responsibility of employees, not employers."
For top wages I do believe that the employee should take on a large part of self-training, or you will work as an assistant to someone who is better trained. It's not your employers job to send you to trade school or college. If retraining is necessary because the industry is changing and your employer wants to assist in your training fine, but the main responsibility is yours.

Education is different from job training. Education is everyone's responsibility, especially parents. Job training, which many schools are switching to because more employers see it as yet another expense they shouldn't be burdoned with, is very site specific. School is for learning the basics, the fundamentals. Job training has to be done on the job since every business applies science, technology, business methodologies, etc. in a different way. There is no way you could learn everything you need to know for a particular job in school, yet this is the claim of businesses that seek to bring in employees from overseas. So, of course they are always going to be able to say there is a shortage of 'qualified' workers when everyone knows ther isn't. What we are seeing is nothing more than businesses lobbying gov't to make life easier than them. Instead of democrats subsidizing workers, we have republicans subsidizing employers. 6 of one, half dozen of the other.
In many jobs, working as an assistant for someone better trained is the way a person gets trained.
