I grew up in Washington State. At first this sounded like WANIC, a program where high schoolers can learn trade jobs instead of taking 1/2 periods of class. I didn’t see it referenced at all in the article.
It is a cool program though. You can do things like Fire Fighters Academy, learn construction skills (although not like this trenching stuff AFAIK). I took classes at DigiPen, a college for video games, and ended up going there after high school.
If you have kids in school in WA, consider WANIC as it is paid by the state.
I wish my high school had this program when I was there. We were all getting pushed to work on computers and shit and I wanted to part of it. I remember teachers actually saying “if you don’t learn about computers you’re gonna end up being a plumber or garbages man” fuck I wish I made as much as garbage men and plumbers do.
My school looked down on and shit on labor jobs so it was never pushed on us as an option.
