Technical education is not the same today as it was years ago, "in the past, vocational education was often considered placement for students who could not succeed in college courses,” (1) or vocational education was supposed to be reserved for students who did not attend college, potential dropouts, or students with special needs. Today, this negative opinion is starting to change. Among high school students, almost all will take vocational courses, "80 percent will take at least one occupation-specific vocational course, and one in eight college students will actually take more vocational courses than vocational students." » (3) On-the-job training and vocational education system in America began as early as colonial times. In 1647 was “the first education law passed in America, the Old Deluder Satan Act of the Massachusetts Bay Colony” (2.5); what this law means is that if a municipality has 50 or more households, it is required to provide a teacher to teach reading and writing to children, if there are more households than it has is required to provide a high school to prepare young people for university studies. He also said that if towns ignored this order for more than a year, they would pay the next school 5 pounds until it complies with the order. During the Civil War era, during Reconstruction, a new type of school arose that could prepare people for employment. In 1868, the first trade school was organized and in 1881; the New York Trade School was the first to provide specific training and additional studies related to each trade. In 1891, another trade school was founded in Philadelphia, replacing apprenticeship training. jobs, 92 percent agreed or strongly agreed that vocational education can lead students to go to college, only 4 percent agreed that vocational education led to low-skilled jobs, 98 percent said internships or apprenticeships in different professional fields were appropriate for high school youth. and seniors, 90 percent said real work-related problems or career-related projects were a good way to teach subjects like math and English. are seeking vocational training because they may be more likely to have a job when they enter the workforce, rather than a college degree, and this will not guarantee employment in that field. The results of the survey and the evolution of positive attitudes demonstrate that technical education is no longer the same today as it was a few years ago..
