Apprenticeship is a good thing! This is a good strategy POTUS Trump is taking in putting America back to work. This is better than a hand-out ,i.e Foodstamps , and Welfare ,which has grown to record levels under the Obama Admin. The Apprenticeship program can  make anyone productive,at the same time doing it with dignity and a sense of providing a decent living for their families.
I get it,not everyone is up to sitting in a college classroom hours at a time. As I was.
And don't forget facing an extraordinary college debt when the college Dean hands you your degree  As a start to my career as a Gen.Bld Contractor (and many of us are),i recommend the Apprenticeship program. I also use this as a way in the selection process when searching for qualified  construction personnel.The President is on the right track, and he's moving aheadI
 It will be curious (for me) how the trade unions,who endorsed Democrats over the decades will react to putting Americans back to work..............
