OK, the US federal government over the last several years has changed corporate taxes. So much so that companies are planning on moving out of the country taking jobs with them. No jobs means you don't have to worry about training workers. Pretty simple! Raising corporate taxes isn't working!
And like I said before. Legal issues with certain types of work that is critical to safety really can't be trained in house. Just too much liability and too expensive to run certified training programs in house. I know of a bunch of small companies that train non critical things in house.
A large part of the problems of skilled workers is a heck of a lot of people today were told over and over in school that they want to be the white collar person. I know of 2 trade schools that were took over by colleges that junior college was incorporated into the schools. The academics were selected o run those schools. They have spent considerable effort in trying to shut down the trade school side.
I understand where you are coming from about tax the companies to train the workers. It sounds logical when you are looking at the one small piece, but when companies are being taxed to the point where they are leaving the country that's bad and more taxes will only make it worse. Gotta look at the whole picture. Now our government waste enough money through stupid spending that they could pay most if not all of post secondary education for people who can't afford to pay for it themselves. So how about we stop wasting money and spend it on something that that will produce a larger tax base when these people have job skills that pay enough that they to will pay taxes?
Ever hear of the CEP program? Government run program to get people in school. For those who qualify not only is the schooling paid for but so is lab fees, books tools and more. In fact they actually pay the student to be in school. I know several people who have attended school via CEP. 2 quit right before they were going to graduate because they finally realized that the government was actually going to expect them to get a job once they had a diploma in hand.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
