Why we should invest more in vocational school (high school through college), specifically construction related trades.

I need a 5-7 minute persuasive essay on the topic, "Why we should invest more in vocational education in schools and community colleges". Specifically for construction related trades but can incorporate broader careers to strengthen argument. It just needs to be a classic persuasive essay with sources to back up arguments. for example: https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholaswyman/2015/09/01/why-we-desperately-need-to-bring-back-vocational-training-in-schools/?sh=2289df2387ad
