Creating a "Modern Apprenticeship": A Critique of the UK's Multi-Sector, Social Inclusion Approach.
Fuller, Alison; Unwin, Lorna
Journal of Education and Work, v16 n1 p5-25 Mar 2003
Analysis of the United Kingdom's Modern Apprenticeship program, designed to increase intermediate job skills, shows that in many sectors, apprentices leave without completing qualifications, especially in sectors with no history of apprenticeship. A key problem is lack of employer demand conflicting with the government's focus on improving social inclusion. (Contains 23 references.) (SK)
