UK prisoners offered data cabling training

Martyn Short

Fecking Rediculous!

I've recently become Cisco CCNA certified, and because i'm young, and have only bewen working in IT for 2 years repairing and maintaining networks and PCs, I'm not even been considered for jobs. Out of the 15 or so jobs i've applied for over the last month I havent had ONE interview. There is no problem with a skills shortage, companies just wont give the people who apply for positions a fair chance!

Training prisoners to do the jobs that i'm sure hundreds of people in the UK can do and are qualified to do but who cant get jobs, is NOT going to fix anything
