Apprenticeships and Regeneration: The Civic Struggle to Achieve Social and Economic Goals
Fuller, Alison; Rizvi, Sadaf; Unwin, Lorna
British Journal of Educational Studies, v61 n1 p63-78 2013
Apprenticeship has always played both a social and economic role. Today, it forms part of the regeneration strategies of cities in the United Kingdom. This involves the creation and management of complex institutional relationships across the public and private domains of the civic landscape. This paper argues that it is through closely observed analysis of these meso-level developments (in contrast to studies of national systems) that we can reveal how the sustainability of vocational education and training initiatives depends on the generation of civic social capital in the pursuit of collective goals. At the same time, the path-dependent nature of the clustering of social and economic inequality in urban post-industrial settings remains a constant reminder of the scale of the problems confronting all those involved. (Contains 4 notes.)
