21st Century Registered Apprenticeship
  And so tonight, I ask every American to
commit to at least one year or more of higher
education or career training.  This can be
community college or a four-year school
vocational training or an apprenticeship.  But
whatever the training may be, every American will
need to get more than a high school diploma.  And
dropping out of high school is no longer an
option.
