Trump's apprenticeship plan will feed into thees high-paying


Posted: Jun 25, 2017

Even if you disagree with President Donald Trump and his administration, there are some positive kernels out there. Trump has put an emphasis on jobs, for example, specifically jobs for the struggling middle and lower class. Although those promised jobs might not necessarily come to fruition, it’s good to hear somebody at least talk about blue-collar struggles. One way the president is focusing on jobs is by attempting to bring back apprenticeships. Apprenticeships, of course, are on-the-job training programs that used to be quite popular but have fizzled out with time. There are still plenty of them out there, but most young people these days seem much more focused on a earning a college degree than completing an apprenticeship. Trump and his plan for more apprenticeships Trump recently signed an executive order to push for more apprenticeships in both the public and private sectors. The order will double the $200 million in taxpayer money that goes toward job-training programs. There are around 500,000 apprenticeship openings across the country, and many of them will lead to secure, high-paying careers. We just need to persuade people to sign up. The issue, of course, is there are still millions of people who are out of work. Even though we have record-high job openings, people are still clinging to the economic edge. Trump’s plan is one way in which the government hopes to remedy that. So what types of jobs could an apprenticeship get you? And how much money could you end up earning — even as you earn while you train? Here are some of the high paying careers Trump’s program could ultimately feed into...;

economics when he took a summer job in a shop that fixes lift trucksaerial equipment.

He started as a battery tech - fixing batteries and battery chargers.

He liked it so much, he never went back to school.

He’s been at it 14 or so years now. He is a mechanic and loves every minute of it.

The company sent him to school for whatever skill set the company wanted him to be proficient in.

Apprenticeships have been around a long - time through companies

[ In Reply To ..]
but if he's expanding on that good for him. As an apprentice, you can earn a living while training for a job whereas going to get a degree you spend a lot of money and then good luck trying to find a job. With technology, we are losing a lot of trades but many of them can't be done by machines. My son actually skipped college to work in a factory and is now in maintenance fixing machines that make things and doesn't have to pay back student loans.

This is a really great idea! - sm

I am NOT a fan of Trump but if he can put apprenticeship programs into action, I'll send up a cheer. For years there's been the theory that channeling kids into job training was demeaning, or labeling. Far from it, some training for a good job without the feeling that you "had" to go to college would be a great thing! And it might put these awful for-profit training schools out of business, or at least give them some competition. Most of them are an out-and-out scam.

It Is Insane That We Are Paying For Trump'sApr 14, 2017
If Trump truly cared about us, they would be paying for their own security since adult chidren do not have to be covered by Secret Service.  I'm sorry if supporters don't see this as a problem but you should.  It is not right that taxpayers are paying so they can advance their business. Before you start slamming Obama, I would be equally upset if his adult children or he were doing company business on our dime. Trump and his family are costing us a lot of unnecessary costs ...
