The paper evaluates the readiness of apprenticeship systems to cope with five major developments affecting the future of work. The institution of apprenticeship has evolved over time in all countries, gradually adapting to changes in industrial processes, the economy, the labour market and education systems. This paper suggests, however, that recent changes in the economy and the labour market, and their concomitant effects on the likely future of work, have the potential to disrupt apprenticeship systems quite radically worldwide, and/or to make them less relevant in the 21st century. The paper draws on data from recent Australian and international research projects undertaken by the author, as well as the author’s engagement in Australian government exercises to discuss the future of apprenticeships. The research found that adaptations of systems and processes were being undertaken at company level and by stakeholders such as trade union or employer peak bodies. They were less frequently apparent, however, in government policy. The paper analyses the data to produce a framework of readiness for ‘future work’, but also queries whether adaptation of apprenticeship systems is necessarily desirable in all instances. Although the presence of multiple stakeholders in the system has previously been viewed as a strength of the system, it can also make even minor changes difficult to implement. This could prove to be a major impediment to apprenticeship’s future or could be a means of preserving its essential features.

学徒制和“未来工作”:我们准备好了吗?

本文评估了学徒制的准备情况,以应对影响工作未来的五项重大发展。所有国家的学徒制度都随着时间的推移而发展,逐渐适应工业过程,经济,劳动力市场和教育制度的变化。然而,本文认为,经济和劳动力市场的最新变化及其对可能的工作未来的影响可能会在全球范围内彻底破坏学徒制,并/或使其在21世纪的相关性降低世纪。本文借鉴了作者最近在澳大利亚和国际上进行的研究项目中的数据,以及作者参与澳大利亚政府活动以讨论学徒制的未来的数据。研究发现,系统和流程的调整是在公司层面上进行的,并且是由利益相关者(例如工会或雇主高峰团体)进行的。但是,在政府政策中它们很少出现。本文分析了数据,以为“未来工作”做好准备框架,但同时也质疑在所有情况下是否都需要采用学徒制。尽管以前系统中多个利益相关者的存在被视为系统的优势,但它也可能使即使很小的更改也难以实施。事实证明,这可能成为学徒制未来的主要障碍,或者可能是维护其基本特征的一种手段。但是,在政府政策中它们很少出现。本文分析了数据,以为“未来工作”做好准备框架,但同时也质疑在所有情况下是否都需要采用学徒制。尽管以前系统中多个利益相关者的存在被视为系统的优势,但它也可能使即使很小的更改也难以实施。事实证明,这可能成为学徒制未来的主要障碍,或者可能是维护其基本特征的一种手段。但是,在政府政策中它们很少出现。本文分析了数据,以为“未来工作”做好准备框架,但同时也质疑在所有情况下是否都需要采用学徒制。尽管以前系统中多个利益相关者的存在被视为系统的优势,但它也可能使即使很小的更改也难以实施。事实证明,这可能成为学徒制未来的主要障碍,或者可能是维护其基本特征的一种手段。尽管以前系统中多个利益相关者的存在被视为系统的优势,但它也可能使即使很小的更改也难以实施。事实证明,这可能成为学徒制未来的主要障碍,或者可能是维护其基本特征的一种手段。尽管以前系统中多个利益相关者的存在被视为系统的优势,但它也可能使即使很小的更改也难以实施。事实证明,这可能成为学徒制未来的主要障碍,或者可能是维护其基本特征的一种手段。
