Master’s Degree Not Retraining Option
RALEIGH — Since 1974, workers displaced from their jobs because of foreign trade can apply for government assistance to obtain additional training so they can get a new job. Such retraining must be “suitable.” But what’s “suitable” for a particular employee, especially a professional worker with long years of experience and a college education? The answer, according to the N.C. Court of Appeals, doesn’t include an additional master’s degree.
