Where’s the Golden Ticket?
By Barbara Poole
There aren’t many golden tickets being handed out as a result of the federal money being made available for jon retraining, so says the NY Times today. In a revealing article, http://tinyurl.com/negqlq, a big factor is that the economy is changing. Many workers do not know where to turn, coming off of long term one industry careers, and and are now faced with the decision of what to try next. What someone decides to study today, thinking that it will be a growing area, may prove to be in decline by the time the course they take draws to completion. Competition to get into retraining programs is high, yet only 60% of students in a NY Times research study obtained jobs as a result of a Community College retraining course. Where does this lead? To self-reliance. A tall order for those among us who punched the clock in the manufactured orderliness of work. Those days are over.
