„Apprenticeships are an ideal way of providing relevant practical training […] Empirical research suggests that apprenticeships yield positive returns in terms of wages and job stability. Learning in the workplace also allows young people to develop both ‚hard‘ skills on modern equipment and ’soft‘ skills (such as teamwork, communication or negotiation skills) through real-world experience. Countries with a long tradition of a strong apprenticeship system are Austria, Germany and Switzerland.“
