I understand the confusion but it would be at the federal level for trades pathways to federal agencies.
Within my own Old Thoughts for this is that from age 4 through 15 there should be education that includes skills that can promote interest in various trades.
From age 16 through 19 every person must have at least one vocation they study (or 2 vocations, or the second thing can be âhigher educationâ). Things to really help people learn old & new skills be it iron working, glass blowing, electrical work, plumbing, etcâŚ
Yes! My son missed out on this in 2017-2018 because our county didnât offer a automotive program. However, the county next to us did have the program and competed on a national level. Met with the Superintendent of that county, he was âacceptedâ but at the cost of $10K per year. School choice needs to be option for everyone.
The Quantum Education System is going to provide for all contingencies. Also, the new incoming American University [on Line] for FREE will welcome all citizens and provide remediation if needed for those who feel deficit in acumen in specific prerequisites for courses they wish to take. Tutoring assistance will be available as well. Well seasoned patriot educators have gathered together with the Alliance to work out all details. Weâve got this!
I live in an area that does have a high school offering trade classes. Students from surrounding areas that partner with this school, can be bussed to this school for participation. Homeschooling families can also apply for classes. Some kids just want to work with their hands, their talents. Culinary, auto mechanics, child development, Photography, nursing, plumbing/heating, law enforcement, to name a few offered classes.
I would like to see a college offering continued trade courses with certifications offered. If President Trump is going to create a free American Academy College, why not trade school as well or offer it within the American Academy. Donât limit any childs talent/Interests.

I agree. The new American Academy could branch out into hands-on programs, as well, instead of just online. We can incorporate within the new system of higher education in- person Academies that allow high school students to enroll and participate in learning of their passions, heritage skills, and the like. Some students are super prepared to head into higher education topics earlier than others, letâs say eleventh grade, either full or part time. Letâs give them this leeway to explore their interests. I look forward to it! It will be great! 
My high schools in my area have similar programs that are called C4 programs! They had several pathways you could go in like, nursing, welding, automotive, culinary. I think there where a few more to but donât remember them off the top of my head. I learned it was a centralized program once I got into collage and think that a program like this all over the USA would do amazing! The schools even provided transportation for students to get to the classes during the times needed!
