Extra: Trade Schools And The Future Of America’s Labor Force

The Trump Administration has vowed to make “Make trade schools great again.”

Part of their plan includes making billions of dollars available for trade schools by rerouting grant money and adjusting 529 college savings plan laws.

Dr. Jason Altmire, former Pennsylvania Congressman and current President and CEO of Career Education Colleges and Universities, recently joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the growing popularity of trade schools and the growing demand for their graduates.

Dr. Altmire explained the importance of skilled labor to the economy, how the perception of choosing a trade over college has shifted over the decades, and how AI could impact white and blue-collar jobs.
