In times of high youth unemployment, there is plenty of evidence to show that apprenticeships
provide young people with the skills required by employers. The European Alliance for
Apprenticeships (EAfA) promotes the quality, supply and a positive image of apprenticeships,
because they are an important vehicle for growth and jobs.
Since the Alliance was launched at the World Skills event in Leipzig on 2 July 2013, many
stakeholders have joined this multi-stakeholder platform. Nearly all Member States have
committed through concrete plans to improve framework conditions for apprenticeships. Social
partners, chambers of commerce, industry and crafts, businesses, education and training
providers, regions and youth organisations have joined the Alliance through ‘pledges’ to contribute
to the aims of the Alliance. The European Commission continues to mobilise stakeholders, and
works with governments and Europe-level social partners to promote reforms of apprenticeship
systems. The private sector plays a key role in apprenticeship schemes. Apprenticeships can only take
place if companies, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are willing to take
responsibility for the in-company training. This should be done in close cooperation and dialogue
with the vocational education and training (VET) providers. Companies can benefit enormously
from this cooperation and from engaging in apprenticeship, in particular from better access
to talents, skills and innovative ideas. Many companies have already highlighted the value
of apprenticeships by joining the European Alliance for Apprenticeships, so we urge more
companies to join now. That is why I will invite business representatives to unlock the potential of
apprenticeships and to give me concrete feedback on how any barriers can be removed.
In this brochure you can read about some of the many initiatives by stakeholders in this field,
highlighting the importance of cooperation at all levels. Work-based learning and apprenticeships
continue to be a key priority on the European VET agenda, in order to ensure that learners and
workers have the right skills to support sustainable growth in the coming years. It is my belief
that this brochure will be an inspiration to everyone working for continued reform, improvement
and boosting of apprenticeship systems across Europe. (Quelle: https://publications.europa.eu)
