as someone who went to a high school with a trade program (machinist, electrician, carpenter, plumber, etc)
.......i see no problem what ever not being able to hire kids right out of school. you have no high schools ?
...or your schools do not teach any trades ?....... i say your problem starts with your schools
1) 9th grade students take each trade(classes) a month and research job potential hiring rate, pay rates, etc
2) end of 9th year they apply for 3 trades they pick, might not get 1st pick if class full and they have bad grades
3) 12th grade co op program student works 1/2 day in factory at least a few days a week. co op jobs
are a reward for better students with good attendance. definitely do not give co op jobs to bottom half
of class.
.
high school needs to allow skipping gym class, 12th year english, etc for classes that there are jobs for
that pay money. by the 9th year high school the student should already know what jobs are out there
and have picked a career path.......... what exactly do they teach in your schools??
