Learning from the Swiss Apprenticeship Model
In part one of a two-part series on apprenticeship degrees, the Future U. podcast’s Jeff Selingo and Michael Horn discuss the Swiss apprenticeship model with Katie Caves, Director of Switzerland’s Center on the Economics and Management of Education and Training Systems. They explore how the Swiss system enables learners to move across and through academic and vocational tracks, bolstered by extensive career preparation and advising. They also consider what other countries can learn from the Swiss system’s ability to strike a balance between experiential learning and academic work in ultimately achieving good career outcomes for learners.
