Main points of
difference and (mis)conceptions
STRONG (COMPANY)
WBL in initial VET - points of difference???
• Function group A: an education and training system
Full competency and capability in an apprenticeable occupation or trade and constitutes itself in a separate system, distinct from school-based VET (with or without work placements) in content, form, qualification, etc. • Function group B: a type of VET delivery within the formal VET system
A diverse way to deliver VET to achieve formal VET qualifications by bringing people into the labour market (main distinction from school-based VET with work placements is the form)
• Function group C: hybrid system
Apprenticeships (systems / programmes / schemes)
School-based VET includes on-the-job training in companies
• Contract
• Remuneration
• % of on-the-job training
• ....
A cross-national overview of apprenticeships through a purposeful approach

Antonio.ranieri@cedefop.europa.eu
Challenges for the future of apprenticeship in the EU
• Weak/unclear distinction between apprenticeship and other forms of work-based-learning
• In the absence of apprenticeship-specific programmes, wide variations in the duration
• Limited or no involvement of socio-economic partners at all levels
• Limited sector-driven approaches to apprenticeship strategy
• Limited (quantity) or narrow (quality) companies’ engagement
• Lack of evaluation of apprenticeship policies
