Zusammenfassung
The apprenticeship concept was introduced by the law concerning vocational education and training (VET) in Lithuania in 2007. However, the lack of institutional, methodical implementation procedures and measures has created barriers to the effective establishment and functioning of the apprenticeship model in Lithuania. During 2006-2008, a project entitled Devapprent [development of apprenticeship in Lithuania referring to experience from Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Netherlands] and funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) was undertaken to prepare the tutors for apprenticeship in Lithuanian enterprises. Another aspect was to consider the experiences of the development of the apprenticeship in countries with different institutional models of VET and socioeconomic models of society. The project examined: (1) apprenticeship experiences in the dual VET model of Germany; (2) company based training in the UK; (3) the VET model of the Netherlands characterised by market orientation combined with strong social partnership; and (4)the experience of apprenticeship development in the school-based and rather centralised VET model of France. This report uses the findings of the comparison of these training systems to develop guidelines for the development of the apprenticeship model in Lithuania. The guidelines are based on two main methodological approaches - policy learning and process approach.
