Foreword
Apprenticeship in dual and non-dual systems: Between tradition and innovation
This volume adds to the ‘Studies in Vocational and Continuing Education’ series in Peter Lang. It engages in the series ongoing discussion on the roles and conflicts around vocational education and training, and more precisely with the tensions to which apprenticeship systems are confronted in the new scenarios of production and labour market relations.
An analysis shared by the academic community suggests that a large part of the success of a VET system depends on its capacity to respond to the needs of the context in which it is developed. Bearing in mind the historical tradition of education in that country is essential, in addition to the existing relations between the production and education systems. That is why this book provides a reflexive look at the answers provided by national VET systems with different traditions, especially regarding the relationships established with the labour market. Placing emphasis on the field of education or production entails educational models that are underpinned by different rationalities.
The stability of dual systems in countries such as Germany or Switzerland is undoubtedly the result of the continuous support from social agents and governments, who acknowledge the advantages of the dual system, particularly its benefits in the effective transition from school to work. The dual system in these countries is an effective instrument to integrate young people into the labour market, as the majority of these programmes consist of work-based learning. This contributes to a low youth unemployment rate in these countries, which, on the other hand, have a healthy production fabric. The more school-based VET, which is the case of the Swedish or Spanish systems, tend towards more extensive social and education objectives, but they encounter greater difficulties to adapt to the demands of the labour market. The example of France is very rich insofar there coexist a well-developed apprenticeship system with a school VET. The future of dual VET systems ←11 | 12→depends on their capacity to help guarantee professional competitiveness, while also guaranteeing the education level of the population.
