We teach these people the importance of showing up on time. (punctuality is something that has to be explained to them, since their personal lives, the lives of their parents and friends, have no examples of this) We teach them to bathe and dress decently before approaching employers. They appreciate this coaching. They learn and practice these basic things. Before the program, they didn't know.
Those of you who scoff at this, taking the position that there is no way (except laziness and sloth) that anyone could possibly NOT know these basics........

I think that as a nation we need to accept the unpalatable reality that some of us need very basic help. There are many people who should be taken out of conventional schools and enrolled in remedial life training. As Matt implied, if you proposed such a thing, it's the liberal public education establishment that would crucify you, not conservatives.
