Reconstructing the Work-Based Route: Lessons from the Modern Apprenticeship.

Unwin, Lorna; Wellington, Jerry

Vocational Aspect of Education, v47 n4 p337-52 1995

Work-based postcompulsory education has been hindered by association with discredited youth training programs. Interviews with 381 British apprentices (55.7% response) show how this form of work-based education overcomes disadvantages of full-time education, has liberating potential, and is an attractive means of acquiring further education and credentials.
