A coalition of unlikely allies in business and labor is pushing the state to spend $5 million for a worker retraining program to help the unemployed find work and those with jobs to learn additional skills.
The Workforce Solutions Group, which includes the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, the Massachusetts Business Roundtable, and others, wants the money to go into the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund, which trains people for specific jobs, such as machinists or airplane mechanics.

These are the types of public/private partnerships we need more of so everyone who both wants and needs to advance their education and obtain the skills needed to meet the growing demands of our diversifying and continuing to move into the future economy can. Affordable access to advancing ones education and skills is one of the many obstacles to employment, higher wages and job creation.
Wow..
Another proposed "shearing" of the sheeple to hire more state hacks and give more goodies to the thuggers.
