Anything you can learn at school, you can learn on the job. The reason for post secondary schooling is subjects where there is little or zero practical application and for which nobody needs or wants an assistant.
Just find somebody that will let you clean up after them and do the tedious work. If you do a good job, they might offer to teach you more, or you just watch them to see how they work.
One of the biggest problems with the education system is the proliferation of unnecessary programs, which bloats the entire system to the point where high level subjects can't be taught for the crowds of dummies trying to take them.
I have to disagree with you here. Like Lethn said, it depends on the school.
Most companies and employers don't trust you enough to do some bullshit labor, and sure as shit won't make you an official employee without some mechanism to sort through you. This is why internships are more important than anything else.
This is why so many companies do psychological testing now for employment, even skilled employees with bad perspectives, psychology, or behaviors cand do more damage than they are worth. There needs to be a filter mechanism, and we don't allow for $1 /hr jobs for employers to take the risk.
A good tradeschool will get you up to par for where an employers expects you to be, that way you can walk in with something rather than "pls job gibs".
"Tradesman school" is a huge scam.
