The Miami Herald reported yesterday that ATI Career Training Centers in Florida, a provider of “…business, electronics, nursing and other career programs”, announced they could be laying off 184 employees by year’s end.

A training firm laying off employees – talk about ironic!

I wonder if they’ll provide training to their former employees as part of their severance package?

The larger question is: Why does ATI even need to do this? Online learning reducing the need for classroom instructors? Increasing overhead costs due to the continued rollout of ObamaCare? People unable to afford training services in this bad economy? Lack of suitable jobs once they are trained? Or something else?
