  1. Oh Boohoo. I can't find good enough people, to hit ground running. Surprise, you can't find those trained up people, because those work elsewhere. It's fairly rare to find skills, that aren't applicable elsewhere (I'll admit, that your field, might be an exception), but I see this attitude all over the economy! Take me for an instance. I hold bachelor's degree in accounting, from school, that is known to produce good accountants. I hold FCE certificate (I'm Czech). And for the past four years, I haven't found a job, that would pay for rent, food and second hand clothes! Everybody scoff's "you don't have working experience.", or "you don't know the tools we use." and passes me over. But how am I going to get working experience as an accountant or finance manager, when those are the working experience requirements? And no, lower tiered work, like assistant or invoice clerk, or part time jobs don't count! (that actually told me one of the recruiters I applied with). How am I supposed to know the tools they use, if I can't get to them, because they are paid software and don't have a mentor to catch my mistakes with the software? (Think SAP). Only the employer knows what skills he need's his staff to have and thus must train them, because people, especially in an economy, like the one before Covid. Schools can't provide the training needed, because they don't work with internal company processes and thus can't respond quickly enough! (putting aside that schools aren't worker mints). And still I hear, how few people enter field and how hard it is to find good people... Meanwhile, there are mobs of people lined up to take the job, they only need a year or so of training, and that's for a fairly complex field, that changes more than once per day and goes through a complete overhaul every four years! Or what about networking? I have seen ads, that required specifically WiFi6 experience no shorter than five years! First routers with this standard are younger than that requirement! Or what about International shipping clerk? A guy, that fill's in paperwork to send off with goods. Why the hell does he need a driver's license, when everything he does can be done and usually is done from a remote office, not to mention the fact, that pubic transportation and mobile broadband do exist? But no, employers just poach employees from each other, which raises their costs far beyond just increased wage, to poach someone else, and b*tch about taxes, which pay for benefits for the people, who those same employers just refused! Whenever I hear an employer talk like you are talking now (because they want to make people learn at home, instead of at work), I feel like reading r/choosingbeggars. PS: Do you want people, to come to you, and ask to be trained? Well fine, allocate one day worth their work hours to study and actually teach them!
