Opinion/Guest column: High school annexes right course for MA voke ed

Massachusetts has an affordability crisis, and many of its causes – like tariffs, interest rates and foreign wars – are out of our hands at the state and local level. What we can control is whether we have the skilled workers to build what we need to bring down the cost of living. We need more housing, and that takes carpenters, plumbers and electricians. We need cheaper, more reliable energy, and that takes the electricians and HVAC technicians to build and maintain it. We need nurses and health aides to staff our hospitals and nursing homes. These are local, blue-collar answers to our nationwide problem, and the young people who could fill those jobs are sitting in Massachusetts’ high schools. Unfortunately, too many of these young people can’t get the necessary training. For years, vocational technical schools across the commonwealth have turned away qualified applicants because there aren’t enough seats. Some years, waitlists have swelled to more than 10,000 students for the state’s vocational high schools. Families know the story all too well: A student who wants to learn a trade applies, lands on a waitlist and spends four years in a school that can’t offer what they wanted. Last
