ICSAS – Integrating Companies in a Sustainable Apprenticeship System
The ICSAS project (“Integrating Companies in a Sustainable Apprenticeship System“) aims to give countries with no experience in work-based learning the opportunity to get a first-hand practical impression how this training system works. The sector chosen for this project is the footwear industry.
Emphasis is placed on two aspects: Firstly, the apprentices and the participating
companies will enrol in a piloting phase of one year; a duration which the project
consortium estimates significant enough to allow for a profound experience. Secondly,
the focus is set on the role of tutors: How can this central figure in work-based
learning be prepared for the task and assisted in the long term?
