As the average cost of college in the United States soars, more young people are being drawn to skilled trades. It’s part of a career rethink among members of Gen Z, who have been called the “toolbelt generation.”

You must be talking about those private trade schools. My son is currently in night school for his master plumbing cert, and it is only 2k a year, with his boss sponsoring him.
I come from a red state that is waging war on all public education, especially higher education. They have slashed budgets and closed many programs including trades. They did a similar thing to the universities after 2008, it is part of what is forcing tuition to skyrocket.
