With the economy moving quickly we often find that new technologies will come about and end up hyper advancing others. When this happens those old or not so old industries and industry sub-sectors are no longer needed and therefore those jobs are eliminated for the new up and coming and the consumer moves into the realm of the new technology and embraces those products or services instead.
When this natural evolution occurs we find people displaced and needing job re-training, but if the folks do not know how or where to get re-trained they will find themselves under-employed and this has been a problem in America that is quite serious indeed.
Often, folks who lose their job will feel like they are of no value to society and this hurts their psyche and can lead to stress and depression. Unfortunately stress and depression can also lead to health problems. But if we can get these people back into the workforce and retrain them to be active and important members of society and industry once again, then they can regain their self-esteem.
It is imperative for job retraining centers and tech colleges to promote their importance and solutions to our society and civilization through a positive reinforcement, which will enhance their public relations program and community goodwill. Please consider this in 2006.
