This government does a lot of talking about skill's and training and has not backed it up at all and we let them get away with it. While i know some believe life on benefit is a dream it isn't and 99% on it would happily retrain to get the skill's to get jobs and have long term job prospects what is stopping them simple there are no adequately funded ways for unemployed people to obtain the skill's at a level that would help our shortage and their long term needs.

Trainng schemes for the unemployed are largely lousy and don't lead to more then nvq level 2 for most on benefit in areas where there are already plenty of people to do the job. What we need is to clearly identify the area's where we have a shortfall in skill's and then setup regional centre's equipped and capable of training people on benefit to adequate standards to fill those gaps. Do that and you will see a massive interest from benefit claimants to take those courses.

While we have a government that talks and does nothing were going to have the same problems again and again and nothing will ever change and i don't think this government has any real interest in changing things in this regard it is far easier to talk tough on benefit talk down to the people on it and give them no real help while all the time talking as if the help is there and not being taken up.
