A lot of high schools are bringing back vocational ed because there's such a demand for it from both industry and students.
I teach introductory automotive at a California community college that partners with five or six local school districts and we're constantly doing outreach. We have waitlists on every single one of our courses every semester. Same with the other community colleges in our area. Millions of dollars are being spent in bringing back auto, wood, metal, and welding shop in the high schools as a feeder program into certified training programs at the junior colleges where the districts can really put investment into the faculty and equipment, and act as partners to industry in apprenticeship programs.
The tide has been changing for years but it's been slow and very sub-surface. Industry is desperate for well-trained local American candidates and they are willing to help finance training programs.
Look into:
Whittier Community College and their Automotive/Heavy Duty Bachelor's of Science degrees
Quinn CAT and their apprenticeship program
Saddleback College's automotive program
Cerritos College's welding program, one of the best in California and possibly the country
Orange Coast College's machining and manufacturing program
This doesn't even count the for-profit trade schools like UTI, WyoTech, and SAMTech.
