Apprenticeships and social mobility

[longknife]

A good policy as leftists oppose it for not reason than the president issued an executive order to expand “industry-recognized” apprenticeships in the United States.

Apprenticeship programs tend to deliver stronger economic returns than other career and technical education (CTE) and workforce training programs. (See reports here, here, and here.) In their forthcoming book Making College Work, Harry Holzer and Sandy Balm argue that disadvantaged college students need stronger connections between classwork and the labor market. Apprenticeships create these connections by combining paid work with classroom instruction. There certainly seems to be room for growth, at least if the experience of other countries is anything to go by:

An excellent point and one reason why both Hillary and Bernie's idea of "free college" was stupid.

It's clearly that apprenticeships should play an important part in our job education system.

Why do you think this is meaningless?

I have two degrees: BA psychology, MS International Relations...and I went to night school at a community college for a year and a quarter to learn welding (my chosen retirement job after considering options for about 10 years). I'm not a practicing psychologist (except on this forum! LOL!) and I'm not working in a position that directly uses my MS. The only education I'll directly use is the one from a community college.

Not everyone needs to go to college, but everyone should, IMHO, seek higher education even if that is just VOTECH.
