to foot the bill to try and get somewhat educated people hired on (when they can find them).

We, at our company still ended up sending new hires to an extensive 18-week training program (IT-related). One of the pet peeves I had was trying to explain to students that they had to better their writing skills, after all, even thought they were in IT and such, they still had to communicate intelligently w/ the outside client world who didn't know IT (not all of them, some were IT-literate).
