I don't have much compassion for companies that are having trouble finding skilled people, but do not have a training program. The government should supply a solid liberal arts education.
However,
"John Deere, for example, has designed a curriculum and donated farm equipment to several community colleges to train technicians for its dealer network. "
Sounds like John Deere is trying to get off cheaper. This is different than the complaint that Siemens had with basic education.
- ccrush 10y agoSo true. Why are high school graduates unable to repair John Deere tractors? Well, maybe because they need some training. Why should they pay for a university degree? Which degree? Mechanical engineering? No. Computer Science? Also no. There is no degree in John Deere tractors. Donating your equipment to schools won't help. Hire people, train them, and put them to work.

- lithos 10y agoThere are companies doing far better though. For instance CAT has almost free training courses for their equipment. The only thing they don't pay for is your initial travel to the middle of nowhere. (This isn't sales pitch exposure that similar companies do, this is actual training over 6 months to a year). Nucor Steel also has a tech campus larger than some state universities.
