ILO Toolkit for Quality Apprenticeships Volume II: Guide for practitioners to develop and implement apprenticeship programmes

Quality Apprenticeship systems can contribute towards matching skills in demand in the labour market with skills acquired in education and training systems, enhancing youth employability through the acquisition of relevant skills, personal development and recognized qualification. Yet, despite numerous benefits afforded by apprenticeships, many countries, particularly developing ones, have challenges in establishing, scaling up and sustaining high-quality apprenticeships. The Toolkit for Quality Apprenticeships aims to equip policy makers and practitioners with the advice and knowledge on how to build Quality Apprenticeship systems and programmes. It will consist of two volumes: Guide for Policy Makers (Volume 1) and Guide for practitioners to develop and implement apprenticeship programmes (Volume II). While Volume I of the series presented the defining features of the ILO’s approach to quality apprenticeship systems and aimed to support policymakers in the design of national apprenticeship systems, Volume II will focus on the practicalities of developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating quality apprenticeship programmes. The primary target group for the Guide is composed of the practitioners in TVET institutions, intermediary organizations, enterprises and other organisations responsible for designing and managing apprenticeship programmes. This Guide will include a compendium of tools used by the key stakeholders of the Quality Apprenticeships value chain; taking best practices and examples from various developed, emerging & developing countries, and provide essential templates.
