This publication was developed as part of the project entitled "EC-ILO action on youth employment policies: Enhancing capabilities of practitioners to design, implement and monitor youth employment policies - under the Council Recommendation on establishing a Youth Guarantee".

The aim of this logbook is to detail the approaches that the project took to improve and promote quality apprenticeships in three target countries (Spain, Portugal and Latvia), and to share the knowledge it acquired throughout the process. The target readers of this document include policy-makers and practitioners - whose role is to improve the existing apprenticeship system and/or develop an apprenticeship programme.

This logbook documents the implementation process of the project in seven steps, listing the major activities and their objectives; it also gives an account of the lessons learned at each step. Its authors hope that this publication will help policymakers to encourage national initiatives to promote quality apprenticeships, and enable them to prepare the ground for piloting quality apprenticeship programmes.
