Agreed! The problem is that the government are constrained by finances particularly during a recession and that industry doesn't want to dip too deeply into their own pockets/profits if they can get the government to train people on their behalf instead, particularly as they tend to find the cheapest option every time when it comes to employing/training a workforce.
