Making apprenticeships work for small and medium enterprises

More than 180 participants from 28 countries came up with cooperation ideas and discussed various ways of working together to help European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increase their apprenticeship offer at Cedefop’s conference in Thessaloniki, 9-10 November 2016.

Ideas ranged from a European network for promoting apprenticeships to training in-company trainers, and from offering would-be apprentices a taster to organising campaigns to engage small businesses. They will form the basis for development of European projects in the coming weeks and months.

Various funding avenues, including an Erasmus+ call for proposals, which aims at supporting SMEs engaging in apprenticeships, were also presented at the conference.
