Baron99 779 #1 Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak says that due to COVID-19, some workers, particularly in certain industry sectors, maybe facing possible unemployment & therefore should consider retraining? Take the skills assessment test, (you can do the questions in around 5 mins) & see what the computer recommends? https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/ I was told Royal Marine, (not bad for someone in their early 60's), Prison Governor or engineer. The last one is actually bang on. Edited October 8, 2020 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

nightrider 13 #3 Posted October 8, 2020 I got sports, creative activities or construction. I am too old to be a professional athlete and anyway not good enough, Rishi has destroyed the creative sector so why would I train to do that and am not fit/strong enough for construction. Not sure how useful this is really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

One the odd ones that wasn't hospitality or retail it needed at least 5 years worth of studying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not sure how useful this is really. It's useful for the government because it allows them to say they are doing something to help those who've lost their jobs because of Covid. Whether it is of any practical use in helping the newly unemployment in finding work is irrelevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It seems to be recommending an awful lot of people to be cinema projectionists - just as cinemas are shutting down. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/oct/08/boxer-lock-keeper-government-careers-quiz-scorned-users-england Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
