You’re Hired: Trump Plans to Build U.S. Workforce With Apprenticeships - The Wall Street Journal

Apprenticeships are an underused form of workforce training in the U.S. compared with European countries and have a proven record of good outcomes for workers, administration officials said. Nine in 10 Americans who complete apprentice training land a job, and their average starting salary is $60,000 a year, according to the Labor Department.
The administration is committed to “supporting working families and creating a pathway for them to have robust and successful careers,” Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and assistant, said Friday. “There has been great focus on four-year higher education, and in reality, that is not the right path for everyone."

Not sure where they're going to get a full-fledged apprenticeship workforce from since the education system is getting destroyed by DeVos right now. But yeah sounds cool. I guess.

According to another article, which puts the job training program reduction cut at 36% and not 40%, he still intends on raising the amount for specific types of apprenticeship programs. The logic being that the programs being cut are ineffective and throwing money at them isn't going to fix them. I don't know enough to know the accuracy of that, though. Also if Trump's touching it it's probably going to fail anyway.
