Towards a model apprenticeship framework: A comparative analysis of national apprenticeship systems
This report contains case studies on eleven countries’ apprenticeship systems, a cross-case analysis and the development of a framework for a model apprenticeship system. The countries chosen, (Australia, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey and United States), reflect a mix of developed and developing countries, with apprenticeship systems of differing stages of maturity.
The country case studies further confirm that better and more broadly available apprenticeships can reduce youth unemployment and poverty when combined with national efforts to spur job growth. The evidence and lessons drawn from their experience provide both motivation and practical recommendations for making apprenticeship a more attractive and a more efficient pathway to productive and decent jobs for more young people.
