You go there for half the day and take part in special programs that lead to occupational certification when you graduate for some of them. Autotech, engineering, health, biotech, management, hospitality, construction, and various others. It's a good program for my guys (kids with specific learning disabilities, ADHD, high functioning autism) who don't want to go to college but have a lot to offer.
We have something like that around these parts. http://www.mtcva.com/Home.aspx
Honestly, more people should take advantage of that. We need the people in those fields. They can even get more education later for them, but it doesn't have to be university. Of course, this would require some higher ed institutions to revamp their models, but it would be worth it.
