There used to be skills centres where you could learn bricklaying, plumbing and the like. Most training is IT or hospitality. Is there training for a person who is more than capable of undertaking basic nursing skills but without the ability to gain a nursing degree? I don't know. There's plenty of opportunity to undertake training if to have been able to gain some academic qualifications - not much if you slipped through the net at school or your peer group believed that learning was for losers.
I think the best solution would be a job share between an older worker and a beginner with a one day crossover each week so that the skills could passed on.
Sometimes people just need helping out of their peer group! Plenty of ex cons, ex gang members etc now doing well and providing help and inspiration to others to avoid their mistakes. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way.
There are many levels of nursing which don't require a degree but they will always be at the poorer end of the hours:pay:conditions ratios. As for other skills, employers who provide good on the job training, decent pay and conditions will attract and retain good staff and already know that it's a lot cheaper to keep existing staff happy than to recruit, train and lose them again. Haulage companies are waking up to that now.

Has anyone looked at the thread title lately ? In the spirit of the thread, the sun is shining and the dish in the hedgehog feeding station has been left so clean that l might not need to wash it 🦔.

Some people take great pleasure from being curmudgeonly, therefore it is their RTBC so posting here is the correct thing to do.
I have a few hotel. It was on the fence for two years. Nothing moved in. I think it was an insect repellant. I took it down and parked it on the ground leaning against my South facing corner bench thing meaning to site it somewhere sometime Things have started to move in. Some things have made little green doors to hide behind. I suppose I'd better leave it where it is.
I enjoyed most of the football, but can certainly understand those who simply wanted to watch tennis being p'd off with the constant reference to football during Wimbledon coverage. They are still on about football, virtually to the exclusion of everything else, on BBC Breakfast.
