<p>well for the most part, our CC system, while pretty good, is still structured around
academics and AA degrees - and are based on traditional 2 or 3 sessions a week,
and a quarters- or semester-system. I’m thinking 8 hours a day learning a specific
skill set - after high school, I did this - 8 hours a day for a year learning electronics
engineering. This isn’t really available these days - our CC’s are more academically
focused, and lack the intensity/depth I’m talking of. </p>

<p>Our local community college has Associate Degree Programs in Automotive Technology, Honda/Acura Professional Automotive Career Training, Collision Repair Technology, and Machine Tool Technology among others.</p>

<p>Another local community college has Associate Degrees in Automotive, Building Construction, Electrical Technology, HVAC, Interior Design, Welding, among others. They have certificate programs in CAD, Mechatronics, Air Conditioning/Refrigeration, Building Construction, Construction Drafting, Electrical Technology, Heating Services and Welding Technology.</p>

<p>I mean, I’ve run / helped run similar programs for college grads; spend 6 months or
a year training them in subjects / disciplines that my company needed, and paying
them during training. And once they’d received the tens of thousands of dollars of
training, most of them left, now being worth more on the open market - and by
“most”, I mean ~90% in a year. </p>

<p>Secure it with a loan with forgiveness based on work. If the student wants to walk away, then they have to repay the loan.</p>
