I received an email from Gib Love the other day informing me that Danjay Training Solutions has closed their doors. I recently finished my course in Industrial Robotics Programming and fortunately I have my certificate, for what it's worth. Gib on the other hand isn't finished his course and now he will not be able to. The money is all paid up front and so I wonder what happens now. Will manpower enable these students to finish their studies at another school?
I am, as most know, somewhat disappointed with what my tax dollars and 24+ years of payments into the E.I. system actually get me. We are part of the manufacturing segment, which the government seems to have abandoned. Many of us. that have lost our jobs in the recent American Jihad, against Canadian unions, are in fact highly skilled, in non-portable, job specific areas, but very capable of being retrained and reinserted, into the labour pool, in new occupations. unfortunately your tax dollars get you minimum training, for a entry level position, in a field requiring 12 to 20 weeks training. In other words, a minimum wage occupation. A brother or sister in their early fifties, with thirty years or more of work behind them, supporting the system, deserves more respect than this.
Service Canada is supporting a system in Brantford, that is leaching tax dollars away from any real possibility, of retraining proven, productive, citizens. Instead the system supports ripoffs like Danjay and classes in "knowing your color" which prepare you for the local sweat shops in the temp agency system.
I find myself speechless at the ability of Service Canada and the local Liberal politicians to continue to collect their wages while doing nothing of significance in this area. They cannot plead ignorance. I feel that they should resign and try out E.I. for a while.
