diana from livingston, new jersey. caller: i think the fact of these job training programs are not matching us up with the skills the employers desire. i just finished a program to the department of health and human services. nobody is hiring us. nobody is giving us apprenticeships or internships. i will even work for free. they do not want eanyone. i am on job blogs. everybody is complaining about the same thing. just google "skills gap." i say, where's the on-the-job training? they should invest in their own businesses and train people on the job and give us that experience. i think that they are sitting back and there is no demand, so they are sitting back and waiting until they are being too picky. guest: she makes a great point. in another article that i wrote, i focused on some of these companies. one was siemens, the company has a big presence in the u.s. down in north carolina. out of frustration, not being able to fill some 3000 job openings. not just engineers but welders and technicians. they set up an appre
