Job Obsolescence and Retraining Increasing pressure of competition with
other companies, rapid technology advances, and increasing complexity of jobs make workers lose their jobs because of skill obsolescence.
Obsolescence is the states, process or condition of being or becoming obsolete.
![Page 28: Employment](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559ebd361a28ab902a8b4742/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Job Obsolescence and Retraining To prevent from job obsolescence, it is
necessary for company to retrain employees.
Not only employers but also business and labor unions, and government provide retraining programs.
Since technology is developing so fast, the need for retraining will increase more and more in the future.
![Page 29: Employment](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559ebd361a28ab902a8b4742/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Job Obsolescence and Retraining Retraining should not be a burden for
employees. A retraining program should not only contain “teaching”. It should include a support system (e.g. child care), a counseling system, and a general skills program.

Disadvantages

sign a contract with their companies for 2 years or more and if they leave before that they will have to pay the training courses’ cost.
![Page 33: Employment](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559ebd361a28ab902a8b4742/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Social and Ethical Issues
Integrity Information which is taught by retraining should
be correct Software and any kind of technologies should
be updated
Equality of access Maybe not all the employees will be able to
take those courses for money or time limitations.
