From the employer's point of view, one of the most important factors in worker training is the scarcity of workers for job openings. Some companies did not appear to have a complete model for analyzing their return on their investment in training. Too few workers are taking continuing education classes of any kind.
Educational institutions are difficult to use for the average incumbent worker.
The perception of continued training and education among both workers and employers needs to change. Operating satellite training facilities and programs in rural communities must be a priority. Initial programs should focus on company specific and soft skills.
