We need much better systems in place to identify skills that are in demand, and get training for adults who want to move into those jobs. We can't rely on the market to do this, as companies no longer take on the role of training employees. We need information and road-maps shared on a national level.

yup but how does that look? 1000 people with high school education lose their factory job. (they have only a high school education not because they are stupid but because that's all that was needed to work on the factory). How do you get 1000 people back to school? Is there a school? are there teachers? who's paying for this? Can people just pick up and move? etc...
