Skills drive 'to boost workforce'
Seven and a half million training places have been made available in an attempt to fulfil a government promise of "British jobs for British workers".

Only problem was, companies couldn't do anything about it if you swanned off at the end.

Problem: Lack of educated and skilled kids entering workplace
Solution: Make exams easier to pass
Funny if it weren't true...

Ultimately as reoffending rates drop these buildings could be used for processing failed asylum seekers and dodgy clerics with metal fins prior to their expulsion. Easy!
