Forklift mastery--behind bars
June 19, 2008
Sometimes I think I’m not important enough to get arrested. If I were, though, I’d want to be arrested in the United Kingdom. Maybe then I’d become a better forklift operator.
There’s a place in the U.K. called The Glen Parva Young Offenders Institute. It’s an enlightened place where they give inmates a reason to live. Who woulda’ thought that forklifts would offer that hope?
They have a two-week forklift course that gives these people a chance to work towards becoming certified forklift drivers upon release. That deal was sweetened recently when something called the Norman Gill Charitable Trust of Leicester donated a new forklift to the Institute.
The prison’s head of learning and skills told the media this program will give his inmates a better chance of finding a job when released. I got to thinkin’, I’m lucky someone was gutsy enough to hire dumb ol’ me, and I don’t even have a criminal record.
Would you give a guy with a rap sheet a chance in your plant or warehouse if he spent some of his jail time learning to master a forklift? Why or why not? Let’s blog this one out.

I sure would hire him, if he was any good. I would want to know why he was behind bars though....I mean a bar-fight is Ok, but definitely not murder ! That could mean one less employee, and then I would be left off where I started....one employee short !
