Obviously the SMART Program is not designed for someone looking for a trade, but it appear Mayor Pete might be opening up such opportunities. Participation in these and other programs that help with the cost of tuition fits the bill of those looking for a hand instead of a hand out. 

And I think emphasizing this as something you do immediately after high school would expose people to various career paths (college and non college) and provide more clarity in their lives. 

-Less people going to college who can't cut it (so less debt)
-More people looking into trade options
-More people involved in their communities
-Exposure to new cultures (he said kids in urban areas would go to rural areas and vice versa)
-Service opportunities in health care and aging services would hopefully drive those costs down for those who use them
