Jobs, skills and progress

There is an old saying, if you need a job, you need experience, and, if you need experience you need job. Catch 22, many call it.

Many years ago, trades were learnet under a master craftsman. That was kind of Guru and deciple situation. Here one worked as an unpaid assistant, and get to see what the the master did. Just seeing the thing, not doing the thing. Soon some small assignment will be given to intern ( student ) and after many years of slog, the student will know how to actually perfom the job his master does.

Some Government ask trade and industry to take vacation trainees. In many places, such trainees are considered to be headache and offices just tolerate them.

Infosys is a company which perhaps has some 50,000 souls in its rolls. What do they do, they acually go to schools and pick bright youngsters and book and hook them with job offers. Some school leavers accept these jobs. What Infosys gets here is not skills but bright brains. These youngsters are trained to do specified jobs.

Small businesses cannot keep inhouse trainers, so they outsource training. Training businesses, now come up with programmes to teach welding, airhostessing, lift engineering, firefighting and so on. Skills are needed, but how to acquire them is the problem.
