The Fabians are pushing towards a guild system; so if we ended up with a guild system, the Universities would be the center of any learning or credentials.
They'll probably just try to make standardized routes the way IT is. Or the way a lot of blue collar jobs do (like Lincoln Electric welding certifications).
That's fucked up. My guild fantasy excludes universities deliberately, given what they've proven themselves to be. Technical experts would be instructed and certified by employees of the industries themselves, with those industries developing annexes dedicated to theoretical instruction relevant to apprenticeships.
It's sort of like the idea of a teaching hospital, but with those hospitals also providing theoretical coursework prior to internships, taking that role away from universities.
