How about offering yutes two years of free tuition at technical/trade schools?

My local JC was exactly that. Did a complete vocational welding program, plus theater arts (techie side) as well as drafting.It was inexpensive back in the day.

Utterly agree - subsidizing technical and trade classes heavily would be a good investment of *community* taxpayer funds. It should be a local decision, and when it has been it has worked out really well. The local car dealers sponsored a program to teach hybrid and electric car mechanics; pretty much everyone got hired before the class ended. The welding class I was in, the guaranteed way to get your 6 units of ‘A’ was to get hired before class finished!

I could actually get behind this. Better than a useless 2-year degree in sociology or some other garbage.

I don't think this free community college fantasy is going to go anywhere anyway. Look at who the target market is.
