Going off of Heather's feedback, yet again, she has a great point. Maybe Votec schools should be available to every age! If someone were to loose their job at an older age, it would be important to offer them another marketable skill. What kind of rules should there be regarding who is applicable, then?
First: I think that everyone who is interested in furthering their education should have one free chance to attend a program for a marketable skill, such as their CNA. However if later down the road, they decide that their career path is not for them, they should have to pay some amount of money to go through a second program.
Second: Obviously, there needs to be an application process helping those who need it most..
Maybe there should be two different branches of government sponsored Votecs.
My original idea was to address Votec for high school students in poverty who have no way of affording a college education. However, as many of you have expressed, there are so many people in poverty who could use the extra education, but are out of high school. With that being said, I don't think high school students and adults should fight for spots in the same program. Also, because of the age difference, there will be a difference in learning abilities and such.
So maybe I should look into making a high school votec, and sort of a "second chance" votec that focuses on those who have already been in the workforce and not succeeded or those who never made it in at all.
