What has been the uptake for IT skills? The people to whom I spoke told me that a lack of IT skills was their biggest difficulty. In particular, people coming out of long-term manual labour situations felt they did not have enough IT skills to get on board with things. I would say they were quite nervous about trying to present themselves for IT classes or anything like that. Is there a specific scheme for these people so they do not have to migrate into CE schemes to get another two or three years of social insurance?
