A framework for quality apprenticeships
Following the introduction, chapter 1 examines the concept of apprenticeship and how it is defined in international, regional and national contexts. It also introduces the concept of quality apprenticeships promoted by the ILO and their potential benefits for different stakeholders. In addition, this chapter discusses the concept of preapprenticeships and addresses other forms of work-based learning, including traineeships or internships. Chapter 2 explains how apprenticeships have been addressed in international labour standards, before briefly summarizing key frameworks, recommendations and initiatives concerning apprenticeships in international or regional organizations. Chapter 3 provides a detailed overview of national legislation, policies and frameworks for the regulation of apprenticeships. Chapter 4 explores some of the challenges countries face when implementing apprenticeship systems. Chapter 5 discusses strategies for promoting quality apprenticeships, including how to make them more attractive, especially to young people and enterprises. Chapter 6 presents an overview of the regulatory frameworks for traineeships or internships, as well as their benefits and challenges. Chapter 7 then lays the ground for a new international labour standard or standards for quality apprenticeships. More specifically, it considers the purposes and added value of adopting a new instrument or instruments on apprenticeships, the scope and coverage of such an instrument or instruments and the matters that the instrument or instruments should address.
