Today many of those who are unemployed no longer have the skills to apply for current open positions, as their existing skills are out-of-date. You may have heard of some organizations providing "retraining", but that implies that the person already has "the needed training".
Sadly, many employers no longer want to provide "on the job training", even though there are many who could learn a new skill, if an employer would only teach them. It would seem a "win-win" if employers would be open to hire those unemployed and willing-to-learn people and teach them the needed skills for their jobs.
There are so many unemployeed people, who would jump at the chance to be trained by an employer and would be so appreciative to those employers, giving their best efforts to an employer with such a generous heart.
The phrase "re-training" is a confusing one. Also, who is paying for this "retraining"? If paid by our federal government, are the participating employees being promised jobs at the completion of the class? Are the outcomes of this "retraining" being tracked as how affective they are?
Employers are encouraged to seriously consider finding candidates with the aptitudes needed for the work, and then providing "on the job training". Give it a shot! Make this a win for you and the employee you train!
