What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is one of the forms of organising vocational education and training. Its aim is to prepare a person for a specific job while meeting a company’s need for highly skilled employees. It is a model that combines on-the-job training with paid work, meaning the apprentice receives a wage throughout the training.
Vocational education and training in the form of an apprenticeship may be applied to at least 1 module of a formal or non-formal VET programme, and must last for 2 months or longer. The duration of an individual apprenticeship depends on the opportunities provided by the vocational education and training provider. Apprentices may be new hires or current employees who need to upgrade their skills.
The aim of apprenticeship is to foster faster economic and social inclusion, and to improve economic outcomes, productivity, and the competitiveness of the country’s economy through vocational education and training, with the active involvement of employers and alignment with labour market needs.
Apprenticeships cover a wide variety of career paths. While they remain an effective training strategy in industries such as manufacturing and construction, apprenticeships are also increasingly available in fast-growing sectors such as information technology, healthcare, energy, transportation, and logistics.
