| Abstract Text | A key feature of education systems in German-speaking countries is apprenticeships, dual vocational education and training programmes. These provide students with general human capital and so, a central question is why are firms still willing to invest in these programmes. The theoretical as well as empirical research has consequently been concerned with firms’ costs and benefits of apprenticeship training and the benefits for individuals of taking part in apprenticeships. Recent research has looked at more general benefits of apprenticeships, such as innovation, adaption to technical change and lifelong learning. |
