Asking an American employer to provide on-the-job training after he has already paid a fortune in taxes to “educate” these Americans is pathetic.

Better than asking me to have these people move to my country.

Yet, you think they should do so for foreigners.

Seems you simply hate Americans.

Well, I’ve had to select new employees in the IT field. Back in the day when we were able to have applicants take what was, in essence, an IQ test to screen most applicants we were able to hire new employees who were extremely trainable and rapidly became productive.

But when our HR executives decreed elimination of the IQ test screen (because of alleged discriminatory disparate impact of the test) our percentage of successful recruits dropped substantially. My experience is that intelligent people with a work ethic can develop needed knowledge and skills just as quickly as college “educated” folks.

A college degree will provide general skills. Colleges should not be turning out specific skills that will be obsolete six months after they graduate.

Employers seem to think the ideal candidate with the specific skills they need RIGHT NOW will fall out of the sky. Ain’t happening. Employers need to step up with the appropriate training.
