“Some will already be aware that Job Corps is a free education and training program that helps young people gain self confidence, prepare for a career, earn a GED and excel in a profession.”

Since when does six million = free? I know people who paid a heck of a lot less to get their GED around by muslim bakery. PLP has let foreigners depredate our economy in so many ways its repulsive.

This does not apply to you timeshavechanged! from your previous comment I know you’re not that dense but to others who believe this feculence I don’t care what degree you’ve got you’re still a dunce.

Your former bank job advertised for an avp trust services today since you have red carpet every where you goes you should apply to your ace girl so that they hold the vacancy open for you just in case the plp lose or if godma paula cannot put you back in cabinet as her compromise to stay on as premier for 2 more years there is also a similar job at hsbc call the new hsbc ceo before you renew his work permit see

jobs for plp

pathetic lying party

?!?!: It also involves not leaving anyone behind. I too, went to school, went to college and developed a career. We have people on the margins of society, where the feeling of hope for them is lost. They have potential. We as community -as a people..cannot afford to leave them behind.

Job Corps IS accredited, with established partners, and targets the needs of our economy.

It may be an inconvenient truth however the timing of these actions. Thereby perception is reality and its easy to misconstrue good intentions.

Yes, now you are. After you’ve created 5,000 Bermudians unemployed and thousands less jobs in Bermuda. After we’ve watched you go on overseas trips to pick up vanity ‘awards’ while dozens of Bermudians lose their jobs every week. After your stupid and arrogant approach to IB persuaded companies to relocate whole departments overseas. After you increase import duty to 25% to ‘protect retail’, then reduce it, then increase tax-free imports at the airport, all in the space of 6 months. After you preside over a slide into open gang warfare, and your response is to make announcements every few months that you’re ‘proud that the number of crimes is reducing’.

And now you’re ‘committted to retaing jobs’. Useless empty words from a useless empty government, preoccupied with looting taxpayer funds to make yourselves rich.

I’ll just use a new paragraph to comment on the big house, pool & car thing since this is a outright joke. FUUUUNY! First time one of those big shots hear a Bermudian call to apply one of their eye’s starts to twitch. Prejudice thoughts come in their head of Snoop Dog/Lion & Dr. Dre in their pool with a dozen big booty women sippin their Crystal while they’re away. Luckily they have the solution THE EXPERIENCE QUESTION, “Oh sorry but we were looking for someone with a bajillion years of experience too bad so sad. BYE!” GUESS WHAT?!?!? The foreigner!?!?!, “no experience needed just be a non Bermudian & a willingness to kiss my backside 24/7.

Clearly you have no idea what Job Corps is.

It won’t work. It is clear the inner circle are Republican at heart and merely use Barack Obama as a front to fool people. The PLP put in place the restrictions that caused the exodus of jobs which they are now turning back as if they are new ideas. It won’t work, either to get support or to attract business.

BTW, we are training pot-washers and waiters as more and more restaurants are closing daily. Maybe they are preparing them to work in the casinos they hope will be soon forthcoming.

The 2012 Work Permit Policies being prepared for implementation contain a number of policies that are favourable to the interest of local and international business partners.

The community can expect a balanced policy, one that is designed to create mutually beneficial conditions for the establishment of new businesses in Bermuda and one that also makes it easy for businesses that have moved to other jurisdictions to return.

The new policy recognizes that we live in a global marketplace and positions Bermuda to compete more effectively.

To this end, I expect that the stakeholder group that has been working collaborative with the Ministry will receive the second draft of the 2012 Work Permit Policies within the next week for any final comments and or proposed amendments.

I expect that the new policy will be implemented soon thereafter.

THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN BEGGING FOR THIS FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS. WTF

Please do tell me Minister – and what jobs will the people be able to go to – the horses have left the barn!!!

Please PLP grow a pair and tell Premier Cox that you dont want Patrice in Cabinet anymore.

The Children of Lois need to go back and study their civics book.

I second that!

If the minister was really serious about creating jobs, she would move to repeal the Employment Act of 2003 which is perhaps the most anti-business piece of legislation ever passed by this or any Bermuda Government. It effectively makes it impossible to get rid of staff except at prohibitively high pay off rates (24 weeks max) – net result in this present environment, nobody wants to hire for fear of being stuck with An employee they do not need or want.

Hopefully, none of what this pathetic pretence of a minister says will matter in a few weeks – if we are so dumb as to reelect her and her party, then we fully deserve what happens.

Now it seems clear that the OBA if true to their word recognize what is happening in regards to work permit abuse. From looking at their economy plan, “Protect Bermudian jobs by cracking down on employers who abuse immigration rules.” & “Stimulate Bermudian jobs growth by giving employers a two-year payroll tax exemption for all new Bermudian hires.” they are the ones who want to fix unemployment. Along with other great ideas that fix what plp has broken.

“Establish an independent Contractor General to oversee government construction projects to ensure fairness, enforce rules and eliminate wasteful cost overruns.”

“Support small businesses by directing 20% of all government goods and services spending – about $80 million a year – to them.”

“Use growing government revenues to reduce debt and restore and strengthen social programs.”

“End wasteful government spending through the creation of a Spending and Government Efficiency (SAGE) Commission” This last one is directed to what you are doing by planning waste $5 to $6 million on getting GEDs for Bermudians. Now the greedy employers will have a waiters position that requires not only an unreasonable amount of years experience & waiters diploma but also a GED. So what’s next a requirement to speak fluent tagalog & a course to go along with it?
