That's a little vague to solve a famously insoluble problem. Everyone wants to "promote employment". The specifics are a little hazier. And then there's that unfortunate relationship between employment and inflation...
I'm all for education and training, but expecting that to solve the problem of poverty is dreaming in technicolor. Unemployment is not 10% in the US because employers suddenly found their employees to be undereducated.
