    but most of those that I know of are limited to the local universities, and are thus non-accessible to lower-income families, plus there are only a few in the public schools in the area.

This is incorrect. Most votech programs are heavily subsidized by the federal government and many of them have not just fee reduction and scholarships they legit provide like food assistance while you're in the program. More than that, the budget for publicizing this fact is effectively zero so most people don't know about it.

If you're poor you can learn to weld at a community college for almost nothing. More people should.
