“President Obama’s green
jobs training program, which was part of his stimulus, has failed on most key
jobs measures, according to a new internal audit that found it was training
workers who already had jobs that didn’t need green energy skills, and was failing
to place new enrollees in jobs once they finished the training.
The Energy Department’s inspector general also said grantees who
received the green jobs-training money did a poor job of reporting their
results.
Only 38 percent of those
who have completed training got jobs based on it, and only 16 percent kept jobs
for at least six months — the key measure of success for the program.[Washington Times]
