The intent is to better fund programs that directly benefit trades and other certifications, and not just focus on students going on to universities.

Ah true, I wasn't really thinking of those; although if you get certified in a two-year program (or other short trade program), I would think that would count for the "graduation rate" for funding already, yes..?
