I'd be happy to respond.
We need to recognize the role that employers are going to play. We can spend a lot of money on credentials recognition and training, but in the end, that piece of paper or recognition doesn't actually lead to a job. It's working with employers, changing the culture within employers, motivating them to create those opportunities and recognizing that employers do have a role in providing on-the-job training.
We've done it. There are concepts that we've done with young people. We have students taking co-ops and internships, and companies have bought into the concept. In their HR planning every year, companies set aside spots for internships and co-ops. Why don't we do that with newcomers? It takes time, but it's possible.
