“Apprenticeship is a quality choice for learners. In an ever faster evolving skills environment, apprenticeship allows learners to keep pace with labour market skills requirements. On the other hand, it is a key factor for enterprises that allows to ensure the continuity of knowledge transfer in the light of demographic change. Apprenticeship is an important recruitment opportunity, as reflected in the share of retained talent: More than 80% of apprentices are employed immediately after their diploma in permanent work contracts.”

Alexander Hölbl, Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy, Austria

Head of Department Vocational Training, Skilled Employees

"One of the challenges at the moment is shortage of skilled workers and the demographic change. Therefore strengthening apprenticeship training could be one of the solutions. That´s why we want to further enhance the value of apprenticeships as an attractive form of training. The aim is to encourage more young people to start an apprenticeship. It is necessary to make apprenticeships even more attractive."

"The public and private partners governing the Swiss vocational and professional education and training (VPET) system are currently working on the implementation of the strategic guidelines they initiated 2016 in view of the mega-trends digitalisation, increasing mobility and demographic change. Their mission in a nutshell: VPET 2030"
