I didn't watch but skimmed the speech this morning. One thing I noticed that this list may find of interest: My Administration is determined to give our citizens the opportunities they need regardless of age or background. Through our Pledge to American Workers, over 400 companies will also provide new jobs and education opportunities to almost 15 million Americans. My Budget also contains an exciting vision for our Nation’s high schools. Tonight, I ask the Congress to support our students and back my plan to offer vocational and technical education in every single high school in America. During the last administration we would have already known what this "vocational and technical education" thing was all about. But best guess, it seems to signal that he may be proposing a big CTE increase in his budget? Does anyone know? Apologies if this has already been discussed.
