enter into a government approved education program to learn a skill

i believe that is already available. free child care may also be available. there are many, many jobs open and go unfilled in these snack shop stores with gasoline. It is not only welfare but kids who just do not want to work. You would think out in the country maybe these kids would be more open or driven to part time work. nope. seems it doesn't matter if mail line, or lancaster pa jobs go unfilled.

Rather then PUSH them into low paying, non productive jobs IMHO we ought to INSIST that anyone getting welfare be entered into a government approved education program to learn a skill.

One of our biggest boondoggles, IMO, is "job training." It's a haven for Social Science majors. The people on welfare today who are capable of working are mainly low level types who are not going to progress past what we call entry level. And the ones that can will do it in on-the-job training. But, of course, I know that is another one of my "perfect world" solutions. :>)
