Training
This reminds me of the CETA program. I was unemployed in the 1970's and living on unemployment which didn't pay much. A neighbor told me about the program and we went to downtown San Diego to apply The first 50 or 100 people got hired that day, I got a job picking up newspapers for recycling and later a permanent job with the City. That became a 30 year career with full benefits and a retirement that is so good that it is no longer offered. I make as much retired as I did working.
