Effectiveness, efficiency and impact of Indonesia’s apprenticeship programme
Depicts the apprenticeship situation in Indonesia and provides recommendations for improvement. It can serve as a tool for policy makers involved in labor market planning with several ministries. It could also prove very useful to the coordinators of the Indonesia Youth Employment Network (IYEN), which focuses strongly on apprenticeships.
The study found that Indonesia’s apprenticeship system has a dual character. First, apprenticeships are considered to be a form of full time employment. Second, they are seen as a process of education and training. In this respect, apprenticeship is unlike most other forms of education since the person who is learning is also earning. The apprentice is at the same time a student learning a trade or profession and an employee who seeks rewards and satisfaction from his job as well as to satisfy the demands and requirements of his employer.
