The payment arrangement that the Department of Labor has with the companies doing training is such that the training institutions stand to make a lot more money if they can place you in a job after training.
While this sounds great, in practice, when you go to one of these trainers, they will look at you based on whether or not they can place you in a job with their particular contacts. It is less important to them that you actually learn anything but that you can be placed in a job after the training is over.
Obviously, the people who have done work in the particlar area they are seeking training in and who may be less in need of training are exactly the ones who are easiest to place in jobs.
A Jewish trainer in Brooklyn is better capable of placing Jewish Brooklyn residents into jobs, and a Latino trainer in the Bronx is more likely to accept Latino Bronx residents. The point here is don't be surpised if some companies refuse to accept you into training even though they are paid by the DOL to do it. The reason is that they may know that they may not be able to place you in a job when the training is over with their particular contacts and that they will therefore make less money.
If you are a Black resident of Manhattan, it just may be a waste of your time to go to some Jewish trainer in Brooklyn, or some Polish Trainer in Queens.
Don't waste your time, for Networking go to Xincon Tech School, they are located in Manhattan |
