How about we integrate a choice of basically 13 and 14th grades that include trade type training? Every county has a post secondary school that students can choose trades to train in, and couple also include a community college level for those who seek a associates type degree. I mean we do basically have that in most areas but people don't realize it. Tech schools and community colleges provide free to near free opportunities for further education and training in trades. I feel like if we integrate it more, give seniors a choice to seamlessly choose the training that desire, it might be utilized more.
