Many kids (especially boys) love playing with and learning about heavy equipment such as backhoes, excavators, bulldozers, cranes and a wide variety of construction equipment.

Another possibility for WPA 2.0 Train people to run (and repair) heavy equipment. Many kids (especially boys) love playing with and learning about heavy equipment such as backhoes, excavators, bulldozers, cranes and a wide variety of construction equipment. Channeling that interest to good paying jobs would be an excellent way to lift up kids who don't want to go to college. (Two of my 3 sons went this route and are doing well.)
Providing easier (and less expensive) access to training on these machines would be very beneficial to lower income people who may have limited access (for a number of reasons) to on-the-job training, technical schools or union training programs. These jobs will never be outsourced overseas and are very much needed. Many local county and state Public Works departments have older or surplus equipment and facilities which could be used, along with retired employees as teachers.

Great idea! It would be great to develop a list of them and send them along to Kamala after she wins.
