A bonus don't make a difficult job more attractive

The VDAB has a list with bottleneck-jobs, and who educates himself for one of those jobs can have a bonus till the end of this year. This bonus is between 150 and 250 euros.

But the bonus doesn't have success: less than one percent educates him in bottleneck-jobs for the bonus. As a reaction on this news the minister of work, Frank Vandenbroucke, has abolished the bonus. The budget will go to other boosts to follow an education.

The problem is that the number of the bottleneck-jobs is increasing. "It's normal that with a booming economy, the bottleneck-jobs will feel it first." says Ward Verhaeghe of the ministers cabinet. "On the other side, the number of jobs where they find an adequate candidate is hiher than ever. A problem is that the government doesn't know if the people who have followed an education, also work in the sector. 1 out of 5 avoidances doesn't find an adequate candidate.

"We have to enlist people of the foreign countries. These people can follow a language-class on the workfloor, there is no other solution." says Ward Verhaeghe

I think that the govenrment choses the simpliest solution. They can look to other solutions, instead of importing foreigners

I also wouldn't choose for a bonus if I don't like the work.
You must do work that you like to do.
