This program aims to remove economic barriers to learning essential skills while securing a robust workforce in vital sectors.
The Federal Government would create and maintain / continuously update, in collaboration with the private sector, an ongoing national log of all College, Trade School, and Apprecnticeships with programs directly tied to national self sufficiency or international competitiveness. This log will be easily accessable by all American citizens where they can choose what skills they would like to learn, then simply express their interest without an application or selection process and immediately be on their way to the program and get to learning and benefiting both themselves and the country.
In order to facilitate higher education and learning new skills, I believe it would be beneficial to a large sum of people if the government provided transportation to a College or Trade School or Apprenticeship as well as providing Housing and Meals. This would allow those who desire to learn new skills to do so whereas they otherwise would not be able to due to lack of personal income or on hand funds.
This generosity would be limited to idustries that directly impact the country such as learning welding, semiconductor fabrication, business management / leadership / how to start your own business, ctritical thinking skills, logistics, carpentry, manufacturing, finance, electrical work, engineering, and other in-demand sectors critical to national excellence.
Accountability: Regular assessments on student progress and participation ensuring alignment with employment goals in key sectors.
Commitment Requirement: Participants would agree to a service term in relevant industries or similar commitment, encouraging direct impact on national economic growth.
