    Looks like some CUKker's Plan B is coming together....

      I hope that there will be a module in this course to prepare the perms for the 24/7 contractor lifestyle...

          Nah, contracting is illegal in Germany after 1/4, new labour laws say so...ANÜ

              May I suggest a course for the other way around - contractors looking to go perm.
              You'll get a lot more takers, be providing something of real big-picture benefit, oh and reduce competition for contractors such as myself who would rather have their teeth pulled without anaesthetic than start a permanent job

                Any true contractor would send a substitute that day.

                  TBH at least for me anyway, contracting was a piece of piss compared to being permy, permy is a lot more demanding.
