Background

This cluster seminar is tailored to enable the 3 target countries – Slovakia, Czech Republic, Estonia – to discuss the draft country reports and to exchange views and practices among themselves and with the resource countries – including from among Austria, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Netherlands – with a well-established dual learning apprenticeship system.

Based on these discussions, and the seminar conclusions potential further actions will be discussed for each country, taking into account the points raised in the individual country report.

The seminar will be an opportunity to reinforce awareness about the benefits of well-functioning apprenticeship schemes for employers through the exchange and discussion of existing practices. The main objective is to inspire the process of employers’ involvement in apprenticeship schemes. These discussions will take place in the context of the overarching theme of the cost-effectiveness of apprenticeship schemes in the ICT, commerce and engineering sectors.
