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.
I’ve been doing labor for 15 years already with no reward. Luckily 5 years ago I joined a union so at least I’m on my way to having an actual pension and future

They make good money but it’s brutally hard on the body.
