Improving Vocational Training

Abstract

The new vocationalist policies, exemplified by YTS, do virtually nothing to foster economic development. Such moves are very different to the vocational training of apprenticeships. However, a simple return to apprenticeships is not appropriate. The future of training should be less specific and more general, thereby reflecting and promoting future demands: relearning, and flexibility. Industry and education should point to the errors of current government policy and seek this economically relevant training.
