Apprenticeship supply in the Member States of the European Union: Final report
English
Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.
Case studies and good practices
Case studies that document good practices and illustrate the benefits and lessons learnt of particular approaches or methods in real practice.
Research papers
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.
This study has also elaborated an in-depth analysis of nine specific case studies of concrete relevant apprenticeship-type schemes in an array of selected EU Member States (Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom).
This in-depth analysis shows the existence of important differences amongst schemes and countries in terms of the main actors involved in the design of these schemes, the role that enterprises play in the provision of vocational skills and professional qualifications, the uneven distribution of work-based training and school training, the existing requisites for enterprises and students to participate in the schemes, and different available financing and quality assurance mechanisms.
