Building Evidence‑Based Quality Apprenticeship Systems

In today’s swiftly changing global economy, the demand for a highly skilled and adaptable workforce is more essential than ever. High‑quality apprenticeships present a strong avenue for preparing individuals with the practical expertise and competencies needed to succeed in the modern labour market. The ILO’s Quality Apprenticeships Recommendation, 2023 (No. 208), underscores apprenticeships as key drivers of employment, productivity and inclusive, sustainable growth, while also calling for systems that are well‑structured, fair and adaptable to shifting labour‑market needs.

Labour market information, and skills needs assessment and anticipation are essential foundations for enabling countries to align training with real economic needs. By grounding apprenticeship design in accurate labour market information, policymakers and social partners can shape curricula, learning outcomes and training standards that reflect both current and future skills demands.
