While AI is threatened with auditors and hits some college graduates who are looking for entry roles, young people flock to work programs for work.
Before the pandemic, the trade school market was “largely stagnating”, according to A March report From the university marketing and research company, validated knowledge. Now it is expected that the autumn registration at commercial schools will increase by 6.6% per year.
“There is nothing wrong with Blue Collar. There is nothing wrong that you sweat a little dirty and a little bit dirty and earn a little money,” said David Rames, Senior Product Manager at Minea, a producer of large household appliances such as air conditioning systems and climate systems that have teamed up with more than a dozen trade schools to help training upcoming HVAC technology.
“We don’t have to worry about AI,” he said, “because Ki cannot install HLK system.”
Commercial schools are just an option for people who want to go to work like welding, sanitary and HLK installation. The enrollment of public two-year college programs that focus on professional and trade programs National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. And registered apprenticeships in which trainees can earn money while learning were similar On the advance in recent years.
And because there is a lack of HLK workers and high demand for their services, “the price for HLK operators has increased significantly,” said Rames.
This is not the only trade that can pay off well, especially depending on the number of working hours and many years of experience. Rames found that after work in the sanitary industry at the age of 22, his son had 55,000 US dollars for long-term investments.
“When I tell these children these stories, their eyes become huge,” said Rames.
In A 1,000 people survey by ZetyAn online service for resume templates, more than half of gene Z-workers, said that they were seriously considered through the fields of work or specialists. AI as well as the payment and opportunities of workers’ jobs and opportunities, into account for their thinking.
Jasmine Escalera, a career expert at Zety, sees this shift as part of an overall pivot in the overall company, in which young people rethink their career and whether it is worth completing a degree. She found that young people, in addition to fear of the replacement of AI replacement of the entry positions, may be less interested in climbing the company leaders and avoiding the suffering of the work graduates of the unemployed college on social media.
“When it comes to the safe job that always exists, I don’t know if there are many of them,” said Escalera. “I think many positions are changed due to AI. We don’t know whether they will disappear completely.”

Gen Z workers may now be wondering why thanks to the technological advances in a few years they should join for a bachelor’s degree that will look drastic in a few years.
What feels safer: “Plumber will always have jobs,” said Escalera.
Trades jobs are not all roses. In the Zety survey, 38% of the Gen -zer “physical work requirements as their biggest hesitation” stated that they are completely blue.
Nevertheless, young people remain interested. Brandon Milligan, the Chief Operations Officer Stratatech Education Groupwhich operates several qualified trading schools is a growing student population, which includes women, youngest high school graduates and even some people who change their careers. The total registration rose by 7%in July compared to the previous year.
“Usually our students can start their educational trip and attend a seven to nine-month program compared to traditional education and go to work immediately,” said Milligan. “It is very attractive for someone who is not the attitude to invest a bachelor’s degree for four to five years and … who really wants to work with their hands.”
Your programs, including HLK, welding, electrical work and more, cost around 20,000 to 25,000 US dollars. The electrical program in particular is very popular, he said.
The 23 -year -old David McLean has completed the Tulsa Welding School from Stratatech in Jacksonville twice with four certifications in welding, electrics, HLK and Solar. Currently in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he is now working as an electrician who installs the security systems.
With the start, electric work can pay 20 to 30 US dollars every hour, he said, but with experience of up to $ 45 and more. McLeans job will also pay him to go back to school to complete an online project management course and help him with former student loan payments. He expects to be created soon.
“The payment is absolutely amazing – and the workload,” said McLean.
He was able to invest in three properties with a career in retail.
“The reason will be electrically as to why I’m buying my fourth year,” he said.
