In this episode of Authors Corner: Robert W. Lamar shares his experience with vocational training in high school and how it helped shape his successful career in construction. He discusses the specialized vocational programs he participated in, such as landscape planning and engineering and architectural drafting. These programs provided him with valuable skills and knowledge that allowed him to secure a job right out of high school. He emphasizes the importance of vocational training for students who may not have the means or desire to attend college. Lamar also highlights the need for more vocational programs in schools and encourages government support for these initiatives.
Key Takeaways:
- Vocational training in high school can provide valuable skills and knowledge for students who may not attend college.
- Specialized vocational programs, such as landscape planning and engineering and architectural drafting, can lead to immediate job opportunities.
- Vocational training should be tailored to the needs of the local community and industry demands.
Quotes:
- "Vocational training was something that I felt that children, particularly in high school, would benefit the most from because when they left at the end of the twelveth grade they would go out with a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience and be able to demand a decent salary to start a good job and they don't owe any money."
- "There's no limit to what vocational training can teach you if the program is developed in that particular school or in these schools."
- "Education is never wasted."
