You referred to older workers. In my office I've met people who were 35 years old and didn't have proper training, but didn't seem to fit into a category that allowed them to take retraining because they had families, they had rent to pay, and so on. How could we remove these barriers to retraining perfectly able and willing people and meet some of those market needs? It's not just tuition for whatever course; it's the cost of living. How do we address that? The problem exists right across the country.
