Types of apprenticeships
Types of
apprenticeships
Apprenticeships
are broadly categorized into two main categories. The categorization has been
done to provide recognition to apprentices through various affiliations and
checking their capabilities before providing them professional certification.
Independent apprenticeships:
These
apprenticeships are organized and managed by skilled people excelling in their
profession. The employers tend to pass on their knowledge and trade to the
upcoming generation of practitioners and derive help from at the same time at
low wages. They do not get associated with educational institutions for study
and training purposes. They only get associated with certification affiliation.
One such example of an independent type of apprenticeship is childcare apprenticeships.
Cooperative apprenticeships:
These kinds
of apprenticeships are organized and managed by mutual cooperation of the
employers or the skilled people and the educational institutions. According to
the kind of training, some of these may be more educational based. Like the
training in engineering, aeronautics, medical apprenticeships need theoretical
as well as practical knowledge. So, they involve a combination of classroom and
field studies. The theories learnt in the class are put to practical
application in the field.
Length of apprenticeships:
The length
of an apprenticeship varies in accordance with the kind of apprenticeship
trades. They vary widely for apprentices who are undergraduates, graduates or
postgraduates. Then they may vary from country to country. Then, the length may
vary in accordance with the last education acquired results. The program may be
extended for enrolled apprentices with weaker results. Length of some
apprenticeships varies in accordance with the time required in the educational
institution and for practical training. The times are divided as per the need
of the trade.
Apprenticeships for immigrants:
People who
immigrate in a country do not get jobs as easier to the citizens of the same
nation. Apprenticeships help them earn on foreign land. Enrolling themselves as
apprentices open up their door to earning while learning. Leading example of
this is childcare apprenticeships.
