VL 195.00
EXPERIENCE OR TRAINING.
INCLUDES CASES IN WHICH A CLAIMANT LEFT WORK
BECAUSE SUCH WORK DID NOT FULLY UTILIZE HIS SKILLS,
BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT HE HAD INSUFFICIENT EXPE-
RIENCE OR TRAINING TO PERMIT HIM TO DO THE JOB, OR
BECAUSE HIS EMPLOYMENT DID NOT PRESENT AN OPPOR-
TUNITY FOR HIM TO ACQUIRE THE EXPERIENCE OR
TRAINING DESIRED.
Appeal No. 214-AT-68 (Affirmed by 85-CA-68). The claimant quit
because he felt he was not qualified for his job as foreman. He
had not previously worked as a foreman but accepted the job and
performed it for some time. The employer was not dissatisfied with
the claimant's work as a foreman and he could have continued on
the job. HELD: The claimant voluntarily quit work without good
cause connected with the work. Disqualification under Section
207.045.
Appeal No. 32,403-AT-66 (Affirmed by 623-CA-66). The claimant
quit with two days notice after he learned there was no approved
apprenticeship program offered by the employer and he would
have to advance on his own initiative. HELD: Since the claimant
had had no firm agreement with the employer at the time of hire as
to what training or advancement he would receive from the
employer, the claimant's voluntary quit was without good cause
connected with the work. Disqualification under Section 207.045.
