I also found it odd, but these were people who dropped out of engineering degrees to pursue electrician certification and to also get trained in new, green technologies. They spent so much time on one company's green technology, that they could not cut it as electricians. They literally could not wire an electrical panel in a new home. They ended up getting screwed. Only green technology can make an electrician unemployable.

No, it sounds like them not being well trained on the basics is what made them unemployable. You add on the green tech stuff once you’ve mastered the basics, it shouldn’t be in place of the basics.
