“...including apprenticeship programmes of the kind it uses in Germany.”
This would seem to be a good thing.
“...including apprenticeship programmes of the kind it uses in Germany.”
Here, Here!
BRAVO!
Let’s get with the program and stop bowing to the idol of “Higher Education” and begin to teach children to be responsible, productive ADULTS, instead of perennial students, locked in their peer group pressure.
Give them teachers who have actually DONE something instead of simply living their lives in the classroom for 16 to 20 years before moving to the other side of the desk to become ‘Professors’.

There is a downside. That is, an apprentice program is like digging a rut. Once in the rut, you have trouble getting out.
The rise of specialized programs in local colleges teaching general skills in very specialized programs that meet the needs of local companies also works very well. To be successful, it requires the collaboration of industry and the college.
Too many people want a job but they don't want to work, and they want to start at the top even though they don't have the slightest idea of what they are doing.
There is nothing new with this, I had the same problem running a crew back in the 70’s, it's just getting worse.
Get fired for not working, play the race card. If it's a union job, get fired and run to the union.
Same thing applies for people working their way up.
Someone gets skipped over for advancement because they are lazy, play the race card or run to the union.
Apprenticeships are the one thing the Germans do right.
Yeah, why the complaint about US workers when he says they have to train those in Germany as well?
