Even if that means they need to stay on it for a few years while they go to school to learn a trade, great. The minute someone begins getting welfare, we should be working with them to get them off it and supporting themselves.

Yes, a good job training program would be great too. Mandatory until completion. They should be teaching these people highly sought after, well paying jobs too. Basically a trade school for welfare recipients. Train them how to weld. How to be a plummer. Electrician. Construction management program. Garden/Landscape design. Solar/wind techs etc. If you are going to train them, train them for good paying jobs as well.
