WIA program might come to an end

i think the reason they are putting the money to trucking is theres tons of trucking jobs out there unlike other professions finding a job driving is pretty easy. granted you might not like it, it might be crappy pay, but you can find one.

 

trust me my friend didnt put one legitimate job down. heres the thing, deval patrick would never actually have anyone look up on it because they are the types that would never wanna pull the rug out, and to a degree i can agree because lets face it, if you're collecting unemployment you're hard up for cash and a lot of people that collect got families to feed. i think there needs to be more over sight and money spent on getting people back to work that truly want to work, and to those that just wanna suck from the system take their money away from them whether its unemployment welfare or SSI. its a joke.

 

By how much are the hours reduced in the school you teach at?

Oh good grief. That's like telling me that every person in my HS graduating class was a friend.

You responded that both benefitted. My question was whom benefitted more. Or did you not understand the question?

As an instructor for a school that directly benefits from the WIA program, I can understand your desire to keep the program in place.

Please note that I am NOT against the program.

 

Personally I think it's a good thing if governmernt funding dryed up. The CDL mills would be at a considerable slow down. They would have to be more picky as to which candidates they accepted. The prospective student would have to measure up more and have a greater probibility of completing the course and being successful in the trade. This would keep a lot of people from having a huge debt when they quit because the job didn't agree with them. It may also cause a a little better class or grade of student come out on the roads.

I'm just sayin'

 

That was kind of my point in posting my questions here. CDL mills that don't give a #### about the student and only want the tax payer funds provided by WIA.

Those that offer "short courses", thus short changing the student that might legitimately want to actually want to drive a class A vehicle for a living.

 

I am torn on this issue.... see, I got my job with KLLM due to going through the CDL school with WIA assistance...

however.... I am also a realist, and the fact is, our country is BROKE.

It does suck.... but WIA doesnt just affect CDL schools, it affects other programs as well.... I am all for getting people back to work... but at some point, there does have to be a limit on how much we spend in order to do it....

 

Heck, WIA's been suspended down here for months due to the extremely long waiting list.

 

I would help if they actually looked into criminal, work and driving records before they took anyone
