A Question for Corporate Leaders: Are Apprenticeships and Return-ships Part of the Solution to the "Skills-Gap"?

Tom, thanks for calling attention to this excellent article and idea which has demonstrated positive results, and offers help for returning veterans. I hope the ACP staff can distribute it to leaders of the sponsoring corporations. It's a shame you cannot delete the attached 57 comments—many of which are negative, biased, and typify destructive politics in America today.
