We agree that there should be more investment in workers' training. We think that very often, when employers say there is a skills shortage, what they mean is that there is an experience shortage: workers don't have the on-the-job experience they're looking for or skills very specific to that firm. We're also looking at mentorship programs or programs that would give workers on-the-job experience with employers.
