Government Employee Training Disasters

Like most everything the government does in the business world, it does a terrible job training the jobless, where they can take on  new jobs with newly acquired skills.

For decades upon decades, Uncle Sam’s politicians have appealed to voters with grandiose job training schemes. They have spent billions over the years with their well-sounding, good intentions. All the while, however, there have been little evidence of true success.

Few projects, in fact negligible numbers, of unemployed workers have ever been actually employed by such government programs.

What training programs have worked have been done by private industry. My own employee contracting firm did training in the U.S. and Canada for special projects and had far better results than most reemployment endeavors of the government.

Yet, to solve the unemployment problem, Uncle Sam continues to undertake the job it generally flubs. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
