United States
Apprenticeship programs in the United States are regulated by the Smith-Hughes Act (1917), The National Industrial Recovery Act (1933), and National Apprenticeship Act, also known as the "Fitzgerald Act."
In the modern era, the number of apprenticeships have declined greatly in North America. Free traditional apprenticeship job training has largely been replaced with on-the-job training (pay as you work), vocational classes, or college courses, which requires the student or an organization to pay for tuition.

Famous quotes related to united states:

The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.”

“... when we shall have our amendment to the Constitution of the United States, everyone will think it was always so, just exactly as many young people believe that all the privileges, all the freedom, all the enjoyments which woman now possesses were always hers. They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that she stands upon to-day has been gained by the hard work of some little handful of women of the past.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

—Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
