Had the pleasure to attend & contribute to the European Alliance for Apprenticeships High Level Annual Event in Brussels - & how (#EAfA) was this different from other events in the city? 🇪🇺 Admittedly I have come to realize the true strength of #apprenticeships for our lives and peers 💯 Apprentices are occasions especially for #youth to firstly learn how to become #professionals, arguably enjoying the very first economic stability of their lives 📍 Remunerated to be learning in the #workplace, an experience which can make the difference for many people interested in a #newcareer 🌿 Then, it is hard to explain how out of little above 3 Million apprentices in Europe, almost 70% of them are enrolled in Germany through the #DualVET system? And a country as populated as Italy counts slightly more than 10 000 apprentices as of 2017 (Cedefop data) 🇮🇹 It is for this reason that events such as the Annual EAfA conference enable us to learn and improve through the amazing experience and work carried out across Europe. And beyond ✈️ Thanks to Béatrice Bellet for sharing her amazing experience and the four years of work on the SAAM Mobility project. Coming back from Morocco just yesterday, it has been a very inspiring session on how barriers are simply there to be taken down 🙌 Thanks for the opportunity of moderating the insightful session on apprenticeships' #mobilities, as I believe that quality international partnership can only bring you towards one destination: the future. 🔜 European Association of Institutes for Vocational Training (EVBB), Mundus, AFPA with Sotiria Tsalamani #vocationaltraining #apprendistato #fp #formazioneprofessionale #workbasedlearning

Discover how the ETF is navigating the future of lifelong learning in the Western Balkans and Türkiye through the insights of Lisa Rustico, ETF human capital development expert. Rustico emphasises the need for a systemic approach to continuing vocational education and training (CVET), starting with raising people's and companies' awareness of skills needs and the benefits of training. “A systemic approach also includes lifelong guidance, and personalised tools to support skills development. The EU is exploring the potential of individual learning accounts, and micro-credentials that complement the many tools we already have in place, including work-based learning, which may be associated with great benefits for young people and adults," she says. Find out more about the challenges and opportunities in further education, access to training and the importance of apprenticeships.

Yesterday, Dr Gavin Lind, CEO of AUSMASA was delighted to meet with Steve Whan, NSW Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, to discuss the Australian Universities Accord (https://lnkd.in/g6B8qshG), the Strategic Review of the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System and the work currently underway by AUSMASA to find solutions to skills and workforce challenges.    The discussion revolved around the future of tertiary education in Australia and the key factors needed to achieve it. In addition, our CEO, Dr Gavin Lind, had the pleasure of discussing The Australian Apprenticeships Incentive System (https://lnkd.in/gEa4pUW6).

We hold a strong commitment to supporting our apprentices. Apleona CEO Dr. Jochen Keysberg FRICS and COO Michael Engel really enjoyed their visit to the apprentices' training shop in April. This year alone, Apleona is training over 500 apprentices in more than 20 different professions. Well trained professionals are essential for Apleona's continued #growth and #success. Training our own young people is therefore an important building block in countering the shortage of skilled workers. We are therefore delighted that so many motivated young people have chosen apprenticeships at Apleona. There are good reasons to train in FM at Apleona: A technical profession in the FM sector is a relatively crisis-proof job. Even when the economy isn't doing so well, the assets in buildings always need to be maintained and repaired. On top of that, our technicians are work every day to improve the environmental performance of the buildings they manage. This is an argument that is winning over more and more young people. Trainees at Apleona are given clear personal development prospects and potential career opportunities during their apprenticeship. And we can offer very varied and interesting tasks in the portfolios we manage. Many thanks to our dedicated trainers and to Claudia Konstas who guide many of our trainees to very good qualifications and contribute to Apleona's success! #ApleonaApprentices #SupportingApprentices #ApleonaSuccess #ApleonaDevelopment

I had the privilege of attending the engaging workshop organized by the Hellenic-German Chamber as part of the Future4VET initiative. An enhanced version of my presentation titled “The implementation of the Apprenticeship system in Greece: the experience of small and very small enterprises'" has recently been published. The paper’s objective is to delineate the fundamental aspects of small and micro-enterprises' engagement in the apprenticeship system. To fulfill this objective, the narrative is organized along three principal axes: 📜 firstly, a concise exposition of the implementation of apprenticeships and the dual education system in Greece; 📜 secondly, an examination of the presence of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Greece; 📜 and thirdly, an analysis of the challenges encountered by SMEs in Greece concerning the adoption of apprenticeship programs and their associated benefits. The paper concludes by underscoring the imperative to bolster support for SMEs in Greece, thereby enabling their meaningful contribution to the cultivation of high-quality apprenticeships, facilitated by the provision of conducive learning environments for youth.

In the next few days, 339 young people will begin their apprenticeship or dual study program at the German locations of Lufthansa Technik. The number of new apprentices is therefore slightly higher than last year. Despite the challenging training market, Lufthansa Technik filled 94 percent of the available places Lufthansa Technik attracted a particularly large number of applicants for industrial professions this year. At the Hamburg site alone, a total of 12 percent more advertised positions were filled across all disciplines compared to the previous year. In addition to the various apprenticeships, the company offers different dual study programs.
