Models for Expanding Apprenticeship into Non-Traditional Areas. Apprenticeship 2000, Project 2A

摘要

The report responds to two Apprenticeship 2000 studies requested by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training: (1) Barriers to expanding apprenticeship and; (2) Alternative apprenticeship models that might be emulated within the apprenticeship system. The approach to combining these two studies was based on the premise that the entire world of employer-based training is undergoing rapid change and that, in this shifting environment apprenticeship is only one of numerous options open to employers in the training 'marketplace.' Findings in the report are based primarily on interviews conducted with representatives of employers, unions, schools and related institutions during the Summer of 1988. The authors were able to cover a wide range of industries and occupations.
