I come from a background in0 further education. In the early 1990s there was a tendency for people to enter into further education and never leave it; they just moved from course to course. They qualified in everything but still went nowhere. I have always felt the rule should be that once someone completes a programme, he or she should move on. If we only move people from one training course to the next, it is a gross waste of resources that could be put into creating employment, perhaps by way of a subvention for artisan manufacturers.
