I know a lot of people that work in offices who would appreciate working in open spaces or doing something more skilled than what most jobs are now - data input and a bit of common logic.

A lot of arts get devalued because people do them as hobbies and that's still a thing being produced but if it were subsidised it could be done more and would see a higher level of interest in people learning the skill.

Like food security/national food strategies, skill conservation is something that helps a country out particularly during wars or crises as you can make individuals easier to train up. A lot of employers dislike individuals from taking on second jobs or side hustles but it can make the economy (and them) more stable overall if they do..
