They can't find jobs for the successful CXC students, where would they find jobs for slow learners? What kind of jobs will be available for these youths?

Is it slow thinking to conclude that these are slow thinkers given they are drop outs for what ever reason? Do you know any drop out who has made significant changes in the world that has vastly improved your life?

The areas of training is specifically targeting  technically oriented vocational or service positions. But it mattered not how they are trained. We need every areas of expertise from mechanics to  welders to chefs to programmers and A-plus support.

What ever areas in which these young people receive training would greatly enhance their sense of self worth and t heir competency to take opportunities available over the other option; bridge sitting and rum drinking and making babies with no means to support them.

If they cannot find jobs for trained teachers, CXC students and UG graduates, where will they find work for these struggling kids? I realize that these kids might have had some unfortunate events at home or not cut out to be the exceptional children we see being successful. Before you embark on a project like this, you have to ask yourself, "When they get out of training, what do they have to look forward to"? How many and where would they get employment? It's cost versus benefits. Don't go just throw money and think it's going to fix everything.
