EU policy context for SME
engagement in apprenticeships
www.csreurope.org
What is an apprenticeship? What is an apprenticeship? European Commission definition: Apprenticeships are those forms of Vocational Education and Training (VET) that formally combine and alternate (1) company based training with (2) school-based education and whose successful completion leads to (3) nationally recognised VET certification degrees. Most often there is a contractual relationship between the employer and the apprentice.
Apprenticeships lead to jobs
Countries with more work-based learning
have less youth unemployment
VET graduates tend to find a job faster than
those with general education*
Graduates of work-oriented programmes spend
less time without work*
