New
York City’s obsolete Workforce Development System is an out-of-date, primitive,
dysfunctional, pro-failure, anti-citizen, opaque, unaccountable and is poorly
managed. It is completely unacceptable. It screws over its customers
(impoverished citizens) & the taxpayers alike.
***
Cynical
incompetent government agencies and “non-profit” entities are failing our
marginalized citizens. Corruption is rampant.
NYC’s
Workforce Development system needs oversight and fundamental reform NOW!
***
Apathy Kills
The
single most important qualities in a Job Placement Professional is intellectual
curiosity. Without this it is impossible to
- Conduct interviews properly in order to ascertain value, selling points
- Know what questions to ask to collect crucial data
- Determine employers’ needs, in detail
- Identify general ability and transferable skills
- Treat job-seeker as talent, so that placement professional acts as talent agent
- Create innovative solutions, thinking out-of-the-box
- Be organized, set goals, meet those goals, be accountable
- Keep the opportunity cost concerns of job-seeker in mind
***
Absence of
Customer-Centered Communication Skills
A
behavior characteristic of petty officiousness is quite common among job
placement workers, resulting in an absence of empathy for customers that is
nowadays seen among so many public-facing clerks at chain stores and government
offices.

SOME SPECIFIC
INSTITUTIONAL PROBLEMS:
Corrupt Social Worker
Scams
A
scam has been spotted in the habit of non-profits to hire social workers to
perform job placement services, when these people are utterly inappropriate
choice for such work. They cause harm. It is clear that there is an effort on
the part of social workers to occupy positions and then create more jobs for
social workers – as a form of favoritism.
Creating
jobs for MSW (social workers). There people are not only unqualified but they
have anti-business, anti-success beliefs. Their most notable characteristic is
that they smile a lot (inappropriately) and they constantly lie to the
customer.
For
mentally ill clients, social workers are useful. But for people with serious
economic problems in need of prompt appropriate solution, social workers are
much worse than worthless. These persons consume financial resources better
spent on desperately qualified placement experts, stand in the way of
prosperity.
***
Social Work degree
students
Social
Work degree students are often used as cheap labor by non-profits, a practice
that allows top managers’ salaries to stay at higher levels. These people have
so little knowledge and experience in business, labor, technology, are so
lacking in life experience in general that they are a waste of time for
clients.
***
Non-profits are
anti-business
Ignorance
of economics undermines service providers' competence in assisting with
problems that are, in large part, economic ones (from bot prospective
employer and prospective employee perspective).
