Tom Temin at The Federal News Network reports that you might have noticed, the U.S. Government has been moving steadily away from requiring college degrees for many jobs.  Instead, Federal Agencies should hire according to skills people have.  Since the Middle Ages, Apprenticeships have long brought unskilled people to acquire useful and career-grade skills.
