Yup We used to have these programs in my HS back in the 1970;s. My next door neighbor's son went through the program and learned how to repair automobiles. He made more money than his sister who went to college to study accounting.
We still have these today in Oklahoma. You can graduate with an aircraft mechanics license and make 50-100 k immediately. They did have to continue classes for 6 months or so after graduation,but the school paid for it.
Public schools near large airbase and civilian maintenance facilities. I went myself as an adult. Probably a third of the students were in high school.

Wow!
We have a lot of aircraft maintenance jobs in the state.
Is that in the Native American schools or the public schools?

I learned electronics at my HS back in the early 70s. Made a 30+ year career out of it.
Inhaling all those solder fumes didn't seem to hurt me either.
i'm disappointed that my school and boy scouts never introduced us to ham radio... it's fundamental to the future of technology applications
My kids and I actually built a working AM radio transmitter out of an old telephone (carbon mic).
The system doesn't want independent people.
Still? How so?
radio frequency, i.e. resonant ac circuits, underpins everything electronic.
