High school students who have taken skilled trades classes are more likely to say school has helped them develop the skills and knowledge they need for college. More than 1,700 U.S. public high school students were asked for their opinions as part of a poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. The poll was commissioned by Harbor Freight Tools for Schools.
