Asghar, Waheed; Shah, Iftkhar Hussain; Akhtar, Naeem – International Journal of Training Research, 2016
The focus of this paper is "dual" apprenticeship training, which involves both on-the-job and institutional training.

National Employer Leadership Council, Washington, DC. – 1999

Cappelli, Peter – 1993
Britain has attempted over the past decade to develop German-style youth apprenticeships through its Youth Training Scheme (YTS). YTS has the basic attributes considered essential to bridging school and work. The greatest achievement of YTS is that large numbers of employers were persuaded to provide work experience positions on short notice, and…

Hamilton, Stephen F. – Educational Researcher, 1993
Challenges identified by T. Bailey (1993) as obstacles to youth apprenticeship programs are accurate but do not justify the turn to alternative approaches he recommends. U.S.-style program can be built to overcome these difficulties if employer-worker collaboration can be fostered and institutional bases can be constructed. (SLD)

Bailey, Thomas – Educational Researcher, 1993
S. F. Hamilton and the author agree on the potential of youth apprenticeship programs for education but disagree on the strength of the problems facing implementation of apprenticeship models. A two-level reform strategy is recommended to develop an institutional and legal structure and to encourage employer participation. (SLD)

Smith, Clifton L.; Rojewski, Jay W. – 1992
Schools do a very poor job of preparing noncollege-bound youth to make the transition from high school to employment and adult life. A lack of formalized transition systems compounds the problems that many noncollege-bound youth encounter as they try to obtain meaningful, career-sustaining employment in primary labor markets. Various instructional…

Cobb, R. Brian; Larkin, Dave – 1983
Apprenticeship is primarily a training activity, is administered by the United States Department of Labor, and is probably the oldest systematic form of employment preparation for youth in this country.
