CT has a state-run votech high school system.
CTECS already exists.
Also the Community Colleges offer trades certification. Three Rivers just finished a new welding facility on the Grasso Tech campus. (HS by day, CC by night.)

Sounds like the same training with more cost and needless classes to me

Are you saying get rid of the state votech High Schools? Or the trade offerings at Community College?
Unfortunately the state votech schools reject people (not enough spots) so some people need trade skills after HS, and cant get it during.
High school graduates in CT are allowed to attend the CCs for free. Seems like a good benefit to get people in trades or other certification jobs.
CCs offer things like dental hygienist and medical coding and billing that the votech system does not as well.

Offering CCs for free would seem to explain budgetary issues I'd think

The budget issue is UCONN not the lower tier system as I understand it.
