The push towards reskilling is not a scam, but merely a misalignment of incentives and a myopic focus on ‘skilling’, which does not shine a light on the numerous other factors that prevent people from getting new jobs, or keep them stuck in dead-end jobs:

1. Lack of interoperability between organisations for employer health or retirement plans.
2. Lack of decent-paying entry-level jobs.
3. Logistical and commuting issues of the employee.
4. Lack of guidance and support to laid-off employees from the industry.
