The studies focus on the very existence of this training pathway, its traditional rootedness in certain specialities at the secondary level of the education system and its recent expansion into higher education.

The studies are also concerned with the use that companies make of this training pathway (e.g. the extensive use of it in the construction and public works sector), which enables them to retain more of the young people trained in the sector.

However, the overall positive tone of this general picture conceals differences between levels of qualification and tracks and, above…
Apprenticeship contracts: why they are breached
In order to reduce the numbers of apprenticeship training contracts which fail to be completed, the reasons for these failures have to be determined. The results of this study show that in some cases, the outcome was not actually negative and that some other cases would no doubt have been difficult to prevent.
