There is broad strategic consensus in Europe that work-based learning helps young people gain the skills that can improve their employability and facilitate the transition from school to the labour market. Despite the numerous and strong evidence that apprenticeship can be an effective way of addressing labour market imbalances, there are obstacles to establishing quality education systems.

Towards a better understanding of the apprenticeship schemes, supporting the stakeholders in the implementation of vocational education development strategies and the promotion of apprenticeships and other forms of work-based learning, of particular importance is the activity of reporting: to give an overview of successful policies, qualitative and quantitative data, good practice examples and to discuss different elements of apprenticeships.

Below we list some recently published documents on vocational education and training that are relevant to the implementation of Cap4App project activities and may be of interest to others.
