My heart bleeds. There was a time when businesses looked to the future and hired in graduates or unskilled but capable folk who would be given entry-level positions and trained up to ensure skills provision in-house. Apparently though there's a magical forest filled with skilled people who can be plucked off the trees, so companies don't need to worry about that stuff any more...or not.

Absolutely this.

Many companies have long since scrapped, or greatly reduced, the training they offer to permanent staff. Those few that do offer some training will shackle the training with a signed agreement that the employee pay back the cost of the training if the employee leaves the company within some set time afterwards.

So, effectively, employees are paying for their own training and upskilling. Both in their time and their money. And then employers get miffed when aforementioned employees realise that their hard gained skills can be sold to the highest bidder.

I've been saying for a few years now that many permanent roles and contract roles have been, in some ways, converging, especially with regard to such things as "investment" in an employee that companies used to do, but simply don't do any more.
