College is a funny thing. Historically it has not been a job training program (except for a few specialties) and it claims that it’s still not a job training program. However for the last fe decades (since the original GI bill?) ,most students have been going to college so that they can get a good job once they graduate. Thus college ends up being a job training program which is way more expensive and less useful than a job training program not pretending to be something else would be.
If I were in charge of everything, I would look into the option of cutting back on a lot of government subsidies for college students and directing that money to effective job training programs instead.
