Towards a Model Apprencticeship Framework - World Bank/ILO - (2013)

This document compares the apprenticeship frameworks of a variety of countries in a case-study format, analyzing them for good practices. The countries are on a spectrum of development and maturity of apprenticeship systems. Based on this analysis, it also creates what it calls a "model apprenticeship framework". Under such a system, the report puts forward, better and more broadly available apprenticeships can reduce youth unemployment and poverty when combined with national efforts to spur job growth. The evidence and lessons drawn from their experience provide both motivation and practical recommendations for making apprenticeship a more attractive and a more efficient pathway to productive and decent jobs for more young people. This report comes to that conclusion based upon the results of the case studies.
