1. INTRODUCTION:

A. Why the Training is Worth the Investment
Many employers prefer not to employ inexperienced and low-qualified
people because of the estimated loss of profit, which, more frequently is based on
attitudes and stereotypes than real casualties. On the bright side, the training at
workplace is valuable because of many reasons. First, an employee gains the necessary
skills suitable for that exact workplace. Moreover, at the beginning, there is a possibility
to find cheaper work-force as low-qualified and low-skilled employees are paid less for
the similar work as the more experienced employees do. There is a gap between
educational and business sectors and training at work-place instead of professional
education or as a form of professional education may improve the quality of education.
There are also governmental social and financial support for employing inexperienced
employees, NEETs, disabled, long-term unemployed, etc. in a form of tax reduction,
subsidies and other.

B. Place-and-train model

Place-and-train is a model that provides the possibility to learn and to earn
money in the same time and prevent those who lack capabilities to acquire education
from “falling out” of the system. In low qualified jobs and handcrafts, it is one of the best
options to prepare the employee for specific workplace and train specific skills. Training
can contribute in order to sustain the placement on the job. Training and learning is
important for the employee as well as the employer. Training for the employer can also
be a way to give the relationship an impulse (e.g. prevention courses), and can be a
source of income as well. Since we have as a goal to sustain the placement we need to
train and monitor the parties involved as much and as long as is needed. Most of the time
the training mainly consists of 1 on 1 coaching or three-way conversations where
potential problems, weaknesses in the situation, complaints, are tackled by 'just' making
them aware, and brainstorming on preventative or step by step changes in the situation
of the employee or employer. Tools to make the employee and employer aware of the
situation and inventory aspects of the relationship can be done in different ways.
