I've been told by a number of electricians and plumbers that the

Employers, students, the labor dept, and hopefully the Unions
themselves have been very disappointed with the effectiveness of
the Job Corp to provide proper training or job placement for grads.


You really are an ignorant a**hole, Reggie. In the construction
trades, the purpose of the job corps is to provide unskilled,
undisciplined kids with a few decent life skills and preliminary
job skills so they know the importance of showing up for work on
time, sober, and with an attitude conducive to work. The job corps
provides pre-apprenticeship training, and a bit of a taste of the
sort of skills they'll be learning.

Do you actually know anything about anything, or is your knowledge
base built entirely upon what you google?

One summer working at McDonald's or Burger King will teach than
those basic job skills.


Is that how you got into the marines?

Obviously, the job corps is another subject about which you know
nothing.

Harry,
Have you noticed that you are the only person in rec.boats who knows
what they are talking about. SWS,Eisboch and everyone else in here
is dumb as dirt and right wing idiots who ignore all science.



I doubt SWS, Eisboch, or you have ever had any significant direct
experience working with job corps instructors, programs, or students.
Three of my long-time union clients have been involved with various
job corps programs for decades, and I have been a frequent visitor to
their training schools, and have kept in touch over the years with a
couple of job corps grads who went on to complete a full union
apprenticeship program.

I've never referred to Eisboch or SWS as right-wing idiots or dumb as
dirt, nor have I entertained any thoughts at any time that they were.

Didn't you say that Eisboch and SWS refused to listen to science and
only the right wing seem to do that?


No, Reggie, I never posted that. But I'm sure we all appreciate your
efforts at demonization, a**hole that you are.
