Issue Position

There needs to be more focus put on vocational education in our schools. We have stressed that everyone needs to have a college education to succeed in today's work place. We've educated the future generations solely based on continuing their education with a college degree. It's time we take a step back and access the need for more vocational programs in our schools. There are many successful individuals in our community that don't have a college education. I never attended college and I don't feel I was denied anything in my lifetime that I was willing to work for. Better jobs are not coming to our communities if an employable workforce is nonexistent.
