Cool they “hired” but if they fail the tests then they won’t be hired. Which is the main issue. People fail out of the school, because it’s hard and stressful.
Yeah, that's the point though, the schools/training was massively underenrolled.
if the failure rate is 50%, you need twice as many candidates to fill the jobs. more so if it's higher.
we also desperately need more medical staff, but nobody is scrambling to hire young men for nursing and other non-doctor medical roles. they are still predominantly marketed for women
