Questão jurídica principal
Whether unemployment insurance had to approve funding for the welding course as a labor-market measure
Decisão extraída
Yes. Given the claimant's limited employability, the short duration of the course, and his relevant practical background, the course qualified as a permissible training measure aimed at improving placement prospects.
Fundamentação extraída
The course was only four weeks long and therefore not a basic training program. The claimant's foreign experience and assessed manual skills made attendance plausible, and the course was apt to yield a recognized welding certificate that could improve employability.
