The Secret To Germany's Low Youth Unemployment

[Sosaria]

Anyone know how Japan trains her engineers and mechanics?

 

Wafer fab industry, what I know is that even equipment engineers have to start off at production floor... start off by just observing (no touching of the equipment! ), then do the production operator's job, loading and unloading the product.

 

After that, join the technicians doing regular, scheduled maintenance. And only after familiarising with all that, do they get to learn about the equipment troubleshooting, setup and more complex stuff from senior engineers, or the field service reps from equipment vendor.

 

But nowadays with very thin manpower levels, which company can afford to do that, i.e. long period of training and familiarisation?

I think TS don't undersand the mentality of Sinkie youths ...nowadays..

 

Even those who are condemned to ITE..they will not utlitise their acquried vocational skills to the work place that will use such skills....

 

These Ah beng will rather open mobile stands, do jobs in the night scene, be loan shark runners, play computer games to while their time away or simply rather do the things..

 

That will 'not dirty their hands' and hopefully earn more han the average blue collar jobs...

...

 

You're right. They have this mentality of "easy money", but do not see that their efforts only work for the short-term, good enough only to buy the branded stuff that they desire . In the longer-term, no plans or didn't even think about it!

You may be aware that most people already condemed ITE students. Why would they be keen to be condemed? Need to upgrade, change.

You let ITE earn more and not allow cheap low quality foreigners come in and depress pay until such ridiculous levels. See the mindset change or not. It is always about pay.
