Education and Training
Research & Training
The need for more effective business training and education is important to most individuals because of a disappointing employment market for many business careers. The availability of specialized and individualized career training programs should be thoroughly evaluated when searching for educational alternatives.
​
The critical need for more effective business training and education is illustrated by continuing disappointment with a poor employment climate and economic circumstances that are unpredictable at best. Lack of government and political solutions seem to make it obvious that individuals need to create their own career strategies. The old and traditional business education and training methods have not been working, so the practical goal is to determine what does work.
Individual Career Solutions Might Be Needed
A major component of current employment difficulties is individuals being trained for jobs and careers that do not exist in the contemporary marketplace. Recent college graduates are the most visible example of this problem. A secondary issue is that these individuals still need more training to qualify for many jobs. The university approach to education does not seem to take any responsibility for these oversights and failings. Again this leaves it to individuals to formulate their own career solutions.
Personal initiative is not exactly a brand new idea to pursue when all else fails. But business education and training was typically not a common area for such a need to innovate when it comes to career training. Individuals in recent history simply chose a career path that they wanted to pursue and followed the traditional steps along the traditional route.
Perhaps this started with choosing a desired industry such as banking, real estate or manufacturing. We all know how much some industries such as these have changed during the past five to ten years. This has impacted both those already employed in these areas as well as those aspiring to join the ranks of employees in such industries.
In other cases the traditional career path started with several years in college. The working assumption was that one good thing would lead to another. College graduation would almost automatically develop into a lifelong career. While there might be periodic hiccups in the economy, the career path would not be seriously disrupted.
Change Management for Business Training and Education
When meaningful change happens, it almost always catches many people by surprise. Such is certainly the case when we suddenly saw banking and real estate implode before our eyes. Real estate and banking career jobs suddenly disappeared. In short order there has been a massive restructuring impacting banks and the automotive industry. Appropriate change management strategies now need to be implemented for career planning in general and career training programs in particular. This will ultimately lead to changes in perception about what works and what does not work for business training and education.

Industrial Welfare Training
When someone speaks out against Welfare, some listeners become indignant and suspect an appalling lack of caring, a lack of charity and humanity. But shallow sentimentality is no substitute for intelligent policies and genuine compassion, and the fact is that our current welfare system treats its recipients - who are mostly black -- as if they were children, as if they were unable to understand the basic facts of a market economy, and as if they were unable to rise above a system of fantastic expectations, indulgences, and entitlements. This is the worst kind of racism in America -- the kind that demeans black women and unmans black men, the kind that belittles them with pity and charity.
Problems inevitably arise when the value of welfare payments is more than the value of earnings. When that happens, regardless of reforms and regulations, welfare becomes a government instrument that promotes failure, poverty, broken homes, illegitimacy, and violence. In our system, mothers are particularly eligible for these generous benefits, which means that the need for husbands is more than simply eliminated: having a working husband, who could not possibly earn as much as the government provides, becomes an outright liability. Thus the family structure is dismantled, more and more fatherless children are encouraged, men are emasculated, boys grow up without strong male role models to teach them how to become worthy men, little girls are motivated to have babies as soon as possible (the relentless vulgarity of television, movies, and music videos, increases this motivation a thousand-fold), and the spiral of urban problems becomes more and more unsolvable.
Today, we have reaped the harvest of all this ignorance and condescension. Black teenage boys, wishing to be acknowledged as men, but completely unneeded in the traditional male roles of husband, father, and provider, find other ways to be acknowledged -- they act out violently, join together in predatory gangs, rape and degrade their women. The prisons fill to overflowing and the inner city moves toward a police state. Babies are neglected by mothers who are still children themselves. Only a few manage to escape this vortex.
All of this is blamed superficially on racism and poverty, and the government pours money into educational programs to promote tolerance as well as more benefits for the poor. But this will never work. Welfare will never make sense so long as it actively discourages people from working and taking care of their families.
