This at least seems like an interesting way to deal with the problem.
Formal training is great, but you still have to train people on your processes etc.
- jdietrich 10y agoThere's a risk of exploitation by employers - hire workers for unskilled jobs, "train" them for a few months, then make them redundant when the subsidy runs out. Here in the UK, there used to be a lower minimum wage for trainees. It was common practice for employers to classify bartenders or farm labourers as trainees for protracted periods, even though no real training was being provided.
