America needs apprenticeships. E.g. in Czech Republic you can attend these vocational schools instead of high schools and there's less of a stigma to attending them. There are schools for programmers, nurses, car mechanics.
Particularly the programmer ones let you do learn idk, basic networking, 3d programming and some basic entrepreneurship (accounting etc).
I believe it's one of the reasons it has the lowest unemployment rates in EU https://qz.com/index/1046172/this-country-has-the-lowest-unemployment-rate-in-the-eu/ https://qz.com/index/1046172/this-country-has-the-lowest-une...
- lamchob 9y agoCzech Rep. Is not the only country with this system, Germany has it as well. In Germany we have the problem that a lot of parents want their kids to go to college and dont do the apprenticeship programs. In recent decades there has been a major shift in school attendance. Today, the majority of pupils attend the A-Levels school, preparing for college. Some decades ago, most pupils were attending the shorter school programs preparing for apprenticeships. The result are full universities, with huge wave in Buiseness related fields. And on the other hand the traditional trades like carpenters or electrcians can't find new apprentices. Those who learned a trade now make tons of money due to the sheer lack of qualified tradeworkers.
