Abstract: Work-based learning programmes, commonly known as apprenticeships or dual vocational education and training, are a proven way to help young people transition successfully from school to work. In Germany, apprenticeships remain the most popular education path for young people. However, recently the rate of apprenticeships that are terminated prematurely has increased, reaching a record high of one-third in 2022. A potential remedy to combat high apprenticeship drop-out rates are apprenticeship support programmes designed to provide support to young people throughout their apprenticeship until successful graduation. However, while many such programmes exist, evidence on their effectiveness is sparse. This paper evaluates the JOBLINGE basecamp initiative, an apprenticeship support programme operating in four locations across Germany. Findings suggest that the JOBLINGE basecamp initiative is promising, enhancing apprentices' security in their apprenticeship and equipping them with essential skills to graduate successfully.
