We offered to cover a tech's associates degree that would include CCNA. 

He didn't want it.

we did the A+, provided the video courses and the test voucher, and it got 
another buck an hour, not a single person took it. 


thats why i ask about requiring. But I dont want the boss to pay some mope to 
read at a snails pace. a video training center in the shitter would probably 
get some good hits though. 


I dont mind the idea of training people, but If I want you to get a basic 
concept of how IPs work, a little beyond what you pick up slinging radios, Id 
like them to be required, but its not worth sending them to CCNA

I have a whole list of things they can master for 25 or 50 cents an hour

Funny, most of the guys never take advantage of them though. 

We experimented on having applicants view training videos prior to the 
interview. That went better before covid. 

But if you care about employees, you will spend money to train them. That is 
the best policy. 
If they leave you for a better job, well good for them, and you did some good 
in the world today.

So, can an employee be required to gain education or knowledge off the clock? 
We are looking at a new hire, but there are certain things I want to require of 
them, knowledge wise, some of which requires reading or watching a video. 
Can you require an employee obtain a knowlege set without compensation 
directly? It's no different than required knowlege ahead of time to me. 
No issue with it being pay increase based. ie learn X, another dollar an hour.
