Apprenticeship is a tradition of training for work that usually includes work-based training, off-the-job training, and an employment relationship. This article discusses different ways of looking at apprenticeship and ways in which countries' models may vary. The article includes a case study of the Australian system and concludes by discussing some current challenges to apprenticeship systems. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
