"There are some training opportunities that, because of labor markets, should be less emphasized," Oates said. "Still, it would be wrong not to look at other areas where training may have gone by the wayside. We always need to be diligent to 'green' up traditional trades . . . We have to be mindful that while funding streams dictate, 'let’s go after high growth, high wage jobs,' people want to get any job, even if it doesn't give them a terrific wage right now. They want a job that'll help lead to something."
