Sure. I'm saying they should be required to do so. In any case it is precisely the apprenticeship system, coupled with generous pay and time off, that provides a capable, motivated work force for German companies.
I should have emphasized unable. You can't target one without targeting both. You want an entrenched 10% Unemployment rate? Now we know why you support such a comfortable dole. If you want to improve standards of living from a liberal perspective, the goal should always be to move towards full employement. Everything is so much easier when its 5% and not 10%.
'Unable'? How absurd. If the German polity and its corporations are capable of such programs, so is the American.
