I do wonder about the logic of these work focused initiatives, it isn't like there is or foreseeably ever will be any surplus demand for labor and many folks with degrees and experience are hard pressed to find decent work or in too many cases none at all.
I truly don't get why some folks are hell bent on further inflating the labor market all it does is put downward pressure on wages and increases job insecurity. I have no issue with education being available to anyone who wants to pursue it, I just don't see any imperative at all to keep finding ways to get ever more people into shrinking demand.
I think there are bigger structural issues before comparatively small bore issues like this can be constructively be addressed and on this one I think we are beyond the only paradigm we know and fixes depending that underlying logic are doomed to failure.
I'm not sure why people focus on this stuff it always was a fairly trivial budget item and even less so now though you seem to be coming from a place of not wanting to create a situation where it is a sentence to permanently being the underclass which is important. Even here there seems to be unhealthy focus on limiting access despite deteriorating demand for labor which to me calls for expanded aid.
