The Apprenticeship System in British History: The Fragmentation of a Cultural Institution.

Snell, K. D. M.

History of Education, v25 n4 p303-21 Dec 1996

Identifies three phases in the history of apprenticeships: guild apprenticeships (12th century to 1563); statutory apprenticeships primarily controlled by the state (1563-1814); and voluntary apprenticeships, often between employers and unions (1814-present). Examines some of the historical changes that have affected the last two phases in England. (MJP)
