Is it possible that workable solutions are going to be addressed on a state by state vs federal level? For example, my home state of California has an extensive community college system that is very good at administering 2 year technically focussed associate programs. In contrast, a state with a lower population (or college) density might favor apprenticships. Also, if the stopping point is utilizing custom industrial applications or specialized industrial skills, why can't companies take the initative to make teaching versions available on public facing sites, where students can train and test themselves before applying for jobs? U.S. companies are wealth aggregators with little tax burden in the U.S.; it seems fitting that they should take up some slack since they are so much more reliable funding streams than public institutions.
