Schools have done away with shop programs in high schools. These classes have left many without basic skills that could be taken into construction jobs. It’s time to put shop classes back in high schools. Money better spent than on new grant programs for apprenticeships.

If there are current impediments to such, these should be removed through legislative action rather than creating a new program.
