I believe there is a higher level with the trades, given that in order to go into the trade, you need an employer. It is the ultimate demand-driven program. When you're in an apprenticeship, you automatically have that for the start. In fact, over 80% of tradespeople don't experience any difficulty when first entering into the trade.
It's a pretty phenomenal statistic that they can go from sometimes having no experience whatsoever to being able to find an employer who is willing to take them under their tutelage to eventually become a journeyperson. The outcomes and earnings are pretty phenomenal relative to other opportunities.
