logikv9 posted:i'm pretty sure that nobody is asking for hordes of blue collar Americans to be retrained in computer programming, that's what they have their "young grandchild who is good at computers" for You're wrong, that's pretty much the startup guru's answer to any poverty. FFS just do a google search with the words "miner" and "coding," that's all we can think of doing. Large scale projects to create local hubs of renewable energy aren't what's talked about when they talk about Job Retraining. It's teaching laid off factory workers how to do entry level coding.

Concerned Citizen posted:Cool so your answer to "I can't get a job" is "well we can give you a fraction of what you used to earn with no prospect of escape from a barely-above-poverty existence." Weirdly, it might just be possible to both give people the means to get the kind of job they want and also provide protection from poverty. man i'm sure the miners would be completely useless if we restarted the CCC

Raskolnikov38 posted:seriously have these jobs retraining programs even trained a single person There are actually good pilot programs that ought to be expanded at some community colleges where they partner with local employers and train people for specific jobs they can take when they finish the program. Obviously that's not a solution in and of itself but it does help people.

Matt Zerella posted:there's a shitload of jobs to be had if we start addressing our crumbling infrastructure. Yep. And the people who used to work in factories and mines actually have skills relevant to those tasks. You could keep those folks working on infrastructure for the rest of their careers instead of feeding them some bullshit retraining scam. Most Americans would probably be in favor of it, too. That's why it will probably never happen.

The workforce development system has essentially zero teeth to make businesses do anything at all and it mostly consists of begging/'enticing' businesses to cooperate. The community colleges often involved make a noble effort and have had some success but there is always the danger employers will walk away from a program or change their mind.

As in everything, the problems flow directly from capitalism and any training solution will at the core involve eliminating or (what a joke) regulating capitalism. In any realistic form in the United States skills retraining is of dubious value, in a different system it would be different.
