There is no specific vo-tech school in my district, but shop, auto repair, woodworking, cosmetology, culinary arts and several others are offered at 2 of the 4 high schools. The other 2 schools are on islands and have very small student bodies, so those kids come to the mainland for their classes.
One of the projects one of the classes is working on this semester is building a new storage building for my church. The barber/cosmetology classes also offer haircuts once a month to the community. The kids earn money and get hands on experience.
I mean one of the neighboring towns high school has a restaurant.
