Full title: Trump apprentices' starting pay $60K, more in demand than college grads: Secretary Acosta (3min video at link)
U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta detailed the Trump administration’s plan to bridge the labor gap Monday, to connect job seekers with executives looking to fill 6 million open positions in the country through expanded “high quality” apprenticeship programs.

Acosta noted that graduates of vocational schools are more in-demand than traditional college graduates.
“[Apprentices have an] average starting salary of about $60,000 per year. Nine out of 10 are employed upon completion of the programs. Both the starting salary and the employment rate are higher than that of traditional college graduates,” he said, adding they aren’t burdened by crippling student loan debt either.

...or progressive, anti-GOD indoctrination.
The politico-educational establishment will not take this threat to their cash cow without combat.

Obama waged war on for-profit schools. They don’t teach Marxism.
Apprenticeships gave us da Vinci, Michelangelo, etc.
Children’s natural talents are apparent by about 12.
they were then apprenticed out to Masters in their fields...and by age 18, were Masters themselves. They had the academic learning along side.
So they did, indeed, ‘hit the road running.”
In addition, many of the professions can lend themselves to self employment.
These are professions and freedoms that don’t lend themselves to gov’t programming - so expect push back.
thanks! 2nd
In other words, degrees in fields like “gender studies” are worthless to employers.
Expect extreme pushback from the swamp on this one. Plus from academia. Having young people who aren’t debt slaves and who have readily marketable and transferable job skills is not a desirable outcome for them.
