Primary and secondary education were never intended to provide job training. They were intended to educate the populace so that we would have intelligent citizens who would contribute to society. In fact, high schools and colleges do a very poor job of providing specific job-related training--they can't afford to keep up with technology as companies do and therefore are always behind.
The basic skills that are supposed to be taught in schools are the same basic skills that one needs to be able to do a job and learn specific skills (i.e. communication, basic math, cognitive skills, etc.). I find it ridiculous that multi-national corporations think it is the responsibility of tax-payer funded schools to provide training in job-specific skills.

This article is Excellent!!!!! I know that a host of older people would love to be retrained /or many have gone on and did that skill acquition and our looking for jobs.Something different!!! Nobody wants to keep doing the same old thing over and over.Many companies dumped many talented people and "training and development" was dropped from the budgets WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!
A lot of people waste thier talents by staying in a no growth postion due to loyalty What a waste!!!!Training is not a burden it is a proactive way to prepare for the future.This country , parents,needs to get more involved in making sure the schools are preparing students we have become to distracted with having fun 24/7 that we are not . I know for a fact you have a lot of people in the wrong "FIT" and many , many trainable people.I am sure one of them.
