Years ago, one of the selling points we could use to encourage someone to accept one job offer vs. another was that the person would be receiving training in some mportant technology that would serve them in their career.
Whatever happened to firms committing training toa new employee as a way of attracting them?
Think about it. In times where there are labor shortages, a company can attract a great talent, send them to a course and give them an opportunity to work with people who aer experienced in the function for $5000 - $20000 less than hiring someone with complete experience in the technology or functionality?
Why not send someone to a class?
