This publication, based on contributions from members of the Cedefop community of apprenticeship experts, sheds light on how selected incentives for learners and employers participating in apprenticeships across Europe are designed, introduced and received by their target groups.
The evidence presented, which is complemented by reflections on the suitability, effectiveness and sustainability of the selected instruments, will help policymakers to introduce better targeted and more effective incentives that benefit learners, employers and societies.
The variation in the organisation and implementation of apprenticeship schemes across Europe is also reflected in the different incentives that exist to increase learner and employer participation, which include financial and non-financial, horizontal and targeted incentives. While many instruments meet their goals, others fall short or are difficult to maintain.
