I think Martin Allen makes a valuable point on the key difference between German apprenticeships and those in other countries. The German model "continues to be based on a 'social partnership' where employers, trade unions and local state institutions work together to plan skill and employment targets, but also take implicit responsibility for young people's transition from school to work." This contrasts sharply with a model where "being operated on a free market 'business knows best' approach has led to inappropriate use of funding by individual employers." More at the Guardian.
