Making Apprenticeships Profitable for Firms and Apprentices: The Swiss Model

Samuel Muehlemann

Challenge, 2016, vol. 59, issue 5, 390-404

Abstract: The author discusses the success of the Swiss system of apprenticeships. The famous German apprenticeship system requires that firms make an investment in their students, he writes, but the interesting Swiss system makes it possible to recoup such investments by the end of the training period without substantial state aid. High training standards contribute to a significant return on their education for apprentices.
