[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7755448, member: 51054"] I have always felt it is the same with the NHS, we happily import trained people from abroad, without a thought as to how it effects their country taking all their skilled people, rather than train our own. Immoral in my opinion, especially as we are such a wealthy country. Years ago, when I was working training apprentices, I read an article in the business section of the paper talking about training. It said, that from an individual companies perspective it made far more financial sense not to bother training anyone, just poach them from another employer who did train. But from a countries point of view, it made sense to train, therefore it was the governments job to put incentives in place to make training worthwhile. However, I will add that a colleague worked before we were involved with government funding, and she said everything went down hill when the government (via training and enterprise councils as they were then) got involved. Politicians never just try to help, they always have to add their bit too and interfere (usually via pointless bureaucracy). I think the crows are coming home to roost now, with our obsession with university instead of trades, as mentioned above, pointless rules which restrict drivers (local government again making rules without looking at the bigger picture).
