I am now going for classes to "retool" under the govt initiative. Our govt does not believe in handouts. You have to work for it or study for it. The economy is contracting and many jobs are gone. So now the govt has schemes of internship where the company pays $500 and gov pays $2,000. I may have my numbers wrong. The program is to help create jobs.
Another program is "re skilling". Gov will pay for the course fees and you have to take the classes seriously. That is, there must be an assessment and attendance. Jobs NOT INCLUDED. It is a good way to pastime.
I am learning Excel and some Data Analytics. I tried self learning and it was difficult. Now I am making a little progress. However, it is still tough going...
