Main aspects ofItalian Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a labour and training contract with a specific supporting legislation
Apprentices = paid workers, who have to attend specific vocational courses in order to acquire certifications or diplomas and university degrees
Traditionally, apprenticeship is not linked to the education system
The apprenticeship system was reformed by the "Consolidated Apprenticeship Act", approved on October 25th 2011 and entered into force on April 25th 2012. The new Law amends and reorganizes the previous legislation on apprenticeship and in particular introduces some new features in the three types of contract

Focus on Higher Apprenticeship
This kind of apprenticeship contract can be offered to young people between the ages of 18 and 29 in all sectors of production
The Regions establish the regulation and lenght of the training programmes, through an agreement with trade unions, business organizations, universities and other higher education institutions
It is aimed to obtain a qualification: upper secondary diploma, university first degree or higher degree, doctorate degree
It is a new form of apprenticeship and it is spreading very slowly.
Main critical points• Difficulites to link University and enterprices• Governance• Financial resources for extra work needed to university to plan
and organize individual training programmes for apprentices
