Thanks for this post! There seem to be some gaps that leave deep marks in the system overall. I graduated an economic school but I found it almost impossible to get a job fit for my training since apparently I lacked practical information.

I think there one more important point here that we keep forgetting about, how about working on creating a good compatibility between the education and training sector and the labor market. There seem to be some gaps that leave deep marks in the system overall.

I finally got hired but it was tough, now I am completing a Osha 10 hour training to improve my chances for a promotion.

Absolutely the entire 0bummer administration is in the pocket of big labor and other left wing groups
The fate of the workers at this point is sometimes like an egg tip of the horn. Their lives are very dependent on the kindness of the owner of the company. And I hate that.

Fortunately, if it is true, the president, helped to intervene in this matter. And hopefully, everything should go well and according to his promise.
