- Summary:
-
This monograph examines the apprenticeship system, especially in electrical and motor vehicle repair work, from two different approaches. A general introduction discusses the choice of industries and apprentices used as a basis for both studies. The exploratory study in Part 1 concentrated on attitudes and perspectives of the participants in the apprenticeship system. Chapter 1 discusses the study's nature and aims. Chapter 2 focuses on entry into apprenticeship and attitudes toward trade and work. Chapter 3 discusses attitudes toward training and education. Chapter 4 concentrates on apprentice's view of future prospects. Chapter 5 deals with the questions of the breadth of skill acquired and levels of skill within trades. Chapter 6 focuses on views of education and training held by other participants. Part 2 reports objective analyses of apprenticeship. Chapter 7 defines the problem--identifying factors contributing to success in apprenticeship. Chapter 8 describes the measurement of first and final year success. Chapter 9 concerns factors associated with changes of employment during the four years after commencement of an apprentice. Chapter 10 is a postscript to the study. Appendixes include a questionnaire for first year apprentices. (YLB)
