Title: Job Training
Post by: kitten44505 on February 05, 2005, 04:12:59 PM
On Thursday night's CBS Evening News there was a report that Community Colleges that specialize in skilled trades
are reporting that they can not turn out graduates fast enough for the growing demand for their graduates.

The electrical unions for example are paying apprentices to learn the trade.

Said Dr. Robert Templin, president of North Virginia Community College " We can't keep enough students in the pipeline to keep employers satisfied.

Why doesn't YSU take advantage of this trend and establish a Skilled Trades School. They could buy the old Osteopathic Hospital and turn it into a Community College specializing in the Skilled Trades.
