When I hire, I care more about attitude, license, transportation, and basic safety tickets than an expensive certificate. Some schools oversell job placement.
Are trade schools worth the money before applying for an apprenticeship?

Some schools near me promise they can help with job placement, but tuition is not cheap. Should I pay for pre-apprenticeship training or just start applying directly?
AI Summary
Answers say trade school can help if it is affordable and connected to employers, but it should not replace applying directly, networking, and checking local apprenticeship requirements.
Answers & Discussion
A short pre-apprenticeship helped me because I had no experience and needed confidence. But I would not take on huge debt for it.
Ask graduates where they got hired. If the school cannot name real employers, be careful.
