Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study compared a number of features of apprenticeships in the 12 Member States of the European Union. The study showed that the apprentice contract or indenture has become an integral part of apprenticeship in all Member States. Admissions requirements for access to apprenticeshp, in general, are not high. Although it was an option open to those who had completed lower secondary education, the average age of entrants is rising. The role of the social partner organizations varies by country. Likewise, a sizeable imbalance exists between countries concerning the variety of occupations for which apprenticeship is provided. In the majority of countries, apprentices are concentrated in small and medium-sized enterprises. General educaton has become an important element of the school-based tuition given to apprentices. The average length of an apprenticeship is usually 2-3 years. The financing mechanism is a complicated procedure involving investment by the state, company, and individual. Efforts are being made to encourage apprentices to develop their competence and attain recognized qualifications. In general, annual intakes of apprentices over the last decade in most countries has decreased. The conclusion is that at least 12 distincat apprenticeship systems still exist. (Appendixes include alternate training initiatives, legislation affecting apprenticeship in Member States, responsible bodies and certificates, lists of sectors represented, glossary, and 77-item bibliography.)

Book excerpt: "The present study is intended to provide an overview of apprenticeship-type schemes in the EU Member States, with a special focus on nine specific EU Member States (i.e. Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, The Netherlands and United Kingdom) in order to conduct more detailed analyses on the characteristics of the main national schemes. The study discusses the effectiveness of these schemes in raising employability and facilitating labour market transitions and geographical mobility of apprentices in the EU. The study also provides recommendations for improving the functioning and performance of this type of VET schemes and for increasing the availability of apprenticeship places (considering the possible effects of the economic crisis)."--Editor.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study involved the mapping of apprentice representation structures across 37 countries including all EU Member States, Candidate and EFTA countries. Data collection combined the review of websites, policy documents and other relevant sources, and 79 semi-structured interviews with representatives of apprentice representation structures, policy makers, social partners and other relevant stakeholders at the national level. Four case studies were undertaken to analyse four apprentice representation structures in more detail. These covered Denmark, Netherlands, Australia and Canada. To inform the current state of play of the EAN and provide suggestions for its future role, interviews were undertaken with 15 EAN members and support staff and five representatives from European level organisations. The analysis was complemented with insights gained from country-level interviews undertaken as part of the mapping of apprentice representation structures at national level. Data collection took place between January and March 2019.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vocational education often is ignored during discussions of secondary education reform even though it accounts for between 25 percent and 79 percent of upper secondary enrollment in the former centrally-planned countries of the European Union. Based on information, data, and feedback from most of these countries, this paper develops a set of propositions about vocational education reform, not with a view to prescribing a detailed "one-size-fits-all" strategy, but rather it derives some principles that continued reform of vocational education could take into account, to the benefit of fiscal ef.

Download or read book How Many Apprentices are in the EU written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims at contributing to the discussion about the need for EU-wide comparable statistics that capture precisely how many apprentices there are in a country in a particular year. It presents Cedefop data on apprenticeship participation based on national sources, without the ambition of providing comparable data per country or across countries. It also offers some reflections on the challenges that make it difficult to estimate apprenticeship participation in EU Member States. In support of these reflections, the paper discusses two other EU-wide sources that seem most relevant in any attempt to estimate the number of apprentices: the European labour force survey, 2016 ad hoc module and the European labour cost survey.
Download or read book European Youth Labour Markets written by Miguel Ángel Malo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely analysis examines the complex state of youth unemployment across Europe and offers cogent policy suggestions for addressing this longstanding societal problem. The findings reveal numerous national and regional factors affecting youth joblessness—not only market and economic challenges, but also deep sociocultural and political dynamics underlying the situations. Coverage details how the standard transition from school to work is disrupted in an already depressed adult job market, and compares a wide range of responses in terms of both young people’s educational decision-making and national youth policy. In particular, contributors assess whether the current crop of Youth Guarantee programs can/should be a model for employment policy across the continent. Among the topics covered: Youth labour market prospects and recent policy developments. Youth labour market in Central and Eastern Europe. Early school dropout in Spain: evolution during the Great Recession. Overeducation among European university graduates: a constraint or a choice? Promoting youth employment in Europe: evidence-based policy lessons. The evaluation of a Finnish youth guarantee: lessons for Europe? European Youth Labour Markets is of interest to an international audience of economists, sociologists, and leaders in governmental, non-profit, and corporate sectors through its broad and comparative macroeconomic focus and implications for policymaking, research, resource allocation, and policy evaluation.

Download or read book Rediscovering Apprenticeship written by Felix Rauner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rediscovery of the value of apprenticeships has been one of the most significant trends in vocational education in recent years, and has prompted an array of research and development projects in countries around the world. In this volume, the renewed interest in the apprenticeship tradition and the various steps towards the implementation of innovative apprenticeship programmes are analysed and discussed from different perspectives. Beginning with a number of chapters that describe recent developments in apprenticeship training in different national contexts, the book moves on to analyze the way in which both the quality and profitability of apprenticeship act in concert as the most influential drivers of innovation in this field. In sum, this book makes an important contribution to the international literature on apprenticeship. It draws together some of the leading researchers in the area, and with its overview of a number of national Vocational Education and Training (VET) projects, provides a body of knowledge on current practices and issues that has previously been lacking in this complex interdisciplinary field. The lessons learned from countries’ experiences, as presented in this book, provide a valuable platform for policy-makers and scholars alike.
Download or read book Apprenticeship in a Globalised World written by Salim Akoojee and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2013, the International Network on Innovative Apprenticeship (INAP) hosted its fifth international conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, in co-operation with the International Labor Organization (ILO), bringing together researchers, policy makers, and practitioners from 34 nations. The title of the conference - "Apprenticeship in a Globalized World: Premises, Promises and Pitfalls" - points out the need for apprenticeship to deliver on its promise of workplace skills and for it to develop and change as world economies develop. An international exchange of ideas among researchers from all over the world is necessary to identify cases of good practice and facilitate the transfer of knowledge and innovation, also within the frame of informal apprenticeships. This book, a summary of the papers presented and discussed at the Johannesburg conference, is split up equally into five key topics: Introducing Apprenticeship: Backgrounds, Changes, and Difficulties * Enabling Learning Opportunities in Workplaces and Informal Contexts * Competence Assessment and Development * Managing Transitions from VET into the World of Work * Curriculum Design, Apprenticeships, and National Qualification Frameworks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book addresses a range of aspects of internationalization in vocational education and training (VET) in different countries. It considers the impact of internationalization and student mobility on VET at the sectoral, institutional and individual levels as the sector emerges as a key tool for social and structural change in developing nations and as a flexible and entrepreneurial means of growth in developed nations. The book explores not only the effects of the neo-liberal market principle underpinning VET practices and reforms, but importantly considers internationalization as a powerful force for change in vocational education and training. As the first volume in the world that examines internationalization practices in VET, the book provides VET and international education policymakers, practitioners, researchers and educators with both conceptual knowledge and practical insights into the implementation of internationalization in VET.
