The student population at vocational schools has nearly doubled in the last ten years. In 1999, roughly 9 million students were attending a trade school, but in 2014 an estimated 16 million students were enrolled. Vocational school is gaining popularity over traditional college. Due to school costs, student body size, and completion times, college admission rates are dropping. Trade schools are adding students roughly as fast as colleges are losing them.
