We see from the passage that, in the Trade Adjustment Assistance programme in the US, unemployed workers may receive training ----.

Since the turn of this century, three million American
manufacturing jobs have disappeared. Some
economists and politicians attribute this loss to global
trade deals, such as the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA). Whatever the reason for the
loss, though, most experts agree on one point: the
need to re-train displaced workers. Under a popular,
expanding federal programme begun in the year
2000 and called Trade Adjustment Assistance,
workers who are judged to have lost their jobs
because of foreign-trade policy are eligible for the
sort of expensive, generous assistance that has
become rare in recent decades. Beneficiaries receive
up to two years of aggressive training in “demand
occupations” – jobs identified by government and
business officials as growth areas – as well as
unemployment compensation and subsidized health
care while they learn. It has been estimated that this
assistance, which can cost up to twenty thousand
dollars per worker, puts a heavy financial burden on
the government.
