Make the courses, train up the workers and just get on with it. Britain needs a bit more self confidence, all these doubts about being able to function with only British nurses etc. There are no British people working in hotels. They should at least have a quota of British staff. It is inverse xenophobia.
A lot of British people do not take those jobs in hotels/nursing homes etc because they see it beneath them.
Well they shouldn't because it isn't beneath them. They are good jobs and certainly in the case of hotels and the costs there is no reason not to pay well and care is important and should be paid well too. See, that is where society is wrong. Hundreds of thousands to pointless directors and not enough to the ground.
