Trump announces to expand apprenticeships programme

US President Donald Trump today announced the expansion of a workforce development programme in a bid to fulfil his campaign promise of creating more jobs.
The programme is aimed at bringing more Americans into the US economy by making them start working as apprentices.
"Apprenticeships are going to be a big, big factor in our country," Trump told reporters at the White House.
"We're going to help get our young people the technical training that they need to pursue really exciting careers, and careers that they can make good money, they can really earn a great, great salary and maybe even open small businesses," he said, announcing the expansion of the apprentice programme.

Trump said there are millions of jobs that do not require a four-year degree or the massive debt that often comes with those degrees. "These jobs require advanced skills and technical training and we're going to start that," he said.
