Bahá’u’lláh’s quote on the kindly tongue states: "...it clotheth the words with meaning." In Germany's state-subsidized retraining market, the exact opposite is happening: words are stripped of all meaning to siphon off public funds via training vouchers.
Providers like Munich-based OneCareer GmbH promise to turn job seekers into "AI Managers" in just four weeks. The syllabus is pure buzzword bingo: from "Monolith to Microservices" and "RAG Architectures" to "Non-Deterministic Project Management". Nobody becomes an AI architect in twenty days. A certification industry is profiting handsomely by feeding anxious people hollow jargon—even as the heavily subsidized AI sector stews in its own juices due to massive energy costs and training on AI-generated text.
The constructive takeaway: the more absurd this racket becomes, the faster people see through it. To fix the public budget, politicians must stop cutting welfare at the bottom and instead shut down this ministerial subsidy waste at the top.
