I think that some children as young as 14 already know that they do not want to go onto college and being able to chose to go onto a training course that will teach them the skills they will need in their chosen trades would be very beneficial. I don't agree that it should just be for children that otherwise would be dropouts. When I was at school and we chose our GCSE options at 14, there were options to go to college (1/2 day a week) to learn about mechanics etc, so I suppose that was a step in the right direction. Children (or adults for that matter) will always do better at something they enjoy and if it will contribute to their working life, it can't be bad thing.
