EAfA Webinar - Apprenticeships and permeability
Channel: Social Europe
Date: 2022-02-09

Apprenticeships have traditionally been considered as a means for ensuring the transition of young people from the world of education to the world of work – a passport to a skilled job - and this is still the case. Increasingly, though, they are starting to be seen in some countries as a stepping stone to a broader educational experience on the road to lifelong learning. The webinar aims to present some recent developments, and more specifically measures that are being taken to open up access to further learning / higher education – the introduction of additional examinations, the modification of forms of Dual VET, and the recognition of prior learning. It will examine examples of good practice and successful policy initiatives, and at the same time indicate the different challenges that still remain.
