Yes there was retraining, but in my opinion, in my experience, the need was way underestimated.
Plus the area I worked in which was retraining CNE *the microsoft network engineering certif* and Aplus candidates, there were numerous issues
the candidates outnumbered the positions available 30-1. We held four courses a year in each aspect and tested at least 15 people per seat, we could have done more but we didnt have the space, the staff or the materials, let alone the computers to practise on.
Once you had applied and had been rejected for whatever case, you could not apply for another spot for six months.
The technology constantly changes, the updates to the changes, happened on almost a weekly basis, making six month old information, practically obsolete. (hell windows 98 was top of the line back then)
The applicants had work blocks but the companies would use them for free, make noises about hiring them, then chuck them at the end and hire another "trainee" the actual hiring figures came out at about 4 %( a year after qualifying) I think two years in a row
A different country, different rules, One city , one company, but we had thousands and thousands go thru in the three years I was there, and these were people skilled in other areas who had run out of unemployment funds, not people who had trouble getting employment for other reasons.
