Rudd unveils plan for trades cert. : "'For us as the alternative government, having a trade certificate is just as important as having a university degree,' he said."
It takes all kinds and school students need to have a way of developing their skills and knowledge in line with how they are as people and what we need from them to stay competitive as a country. Oddly enough my friend's young son was all set to do year 12 this year and had had good results but couldn't stand another year sitting, sitting, sitting. Luckily he had done some of the job training courses available at his school and was snapped up by a firm as their new apprentice. He was happy because his school training was counting towards the apprenticeship. The firm was happy because they had a lad with some knowledge under his belt and the parents are happy because their son is energetic and smiling again. We are all different.
