The Power of the Old
The Power of the New
Apprenticeships and ‘Apprenticeships-Lite’
Apprenticeships A formal training programme Recruited to a job with training
(employee status) Training in the workplace and an
educational establishment Explicit legally binding contract Awarded a certificate to work in a
specific occupation or group of occupations
Tightly regulated and often backed by legislation .
Social partner (collective employer bodies and trade unions) involvement
Mutually beneficial to employer and apprentice
Traineeships/Internships/Pre-apprenticeships etc Work placement an element in VET
programmes But temporary and fairly short Lead to formal qualifications And can lead to an apprenticeship proper But less likely to follow a defined learning
programme or outcomes More heterogenous:
– For unemployed young people; or– An mainly education based programme – Or poorly paid ‘internships’ for the better off
Part of the strengthening of employer dimension to VET
And becoming more the norm Employer benefits variable
Success factors around the world
“Get the quality right, then your ability to sell, or your ability to earn money, or whatever, will follow naturally.”
