Apprenticeship?
What is Registered Apprenticeship?
Introduction
The Registered Apprenticeship system has been utilized to meet the needs of America's skilled workforce for over 75 years. It is a unique, flexible training system
that combines job related technical instruction with structured on-the-job learning experiences. Registered Apprenticeship is a leader in preparing American workers
to compete in a global 21st Century economy because the system keeps pace with advancing technologies and innovations in training and human resource
development.
The Registered Apprenticeship system provides the opportunity for workers seeking high-skilled, high- paying jobs and for employers seeking to build a qualified
workforce. In this regard, the Registered Apprenticeship system effectively meets the needs of both employers and workers.
Registered Apprenticeship is highly active in traditional industries such as construction and manufacturing, but it is also instrumental in the training and
development of emerging industries such as healthcare, energy, and homeland security.
It's an Immediate Job
Apprentices start working from day one with incremental wage increases as they become more proficient on the job. Apprenticeships range from one to six years,
but the majority are four years in length. In 2011, more than 130,000 individuals nationwide became apprentices.
It's On-the-Job Learning and Education
The "Earn and Learn" training model of Registered Apprenticeship provides a unique combination of structured learning with on-the-job training from an assigned
mentor. Related instruction, technical training or other certified training is provided by apprenticeship training centers, technical schools, community colleges,
and/or institutions employing distance and computer-based learning approaches. The goal is to provide workers with advanced skillsets that meet the specific needs
of employers.
It's a Credential
Upon completion of a Registered Apprenticeship program, participants receive an industry issued, nationally recognized credential that certifies occupational
proficiency, is portable, and can provide a pathway to the middle class. In many cases, these programs provide apprentices with the opportunity to simultaneously
obtain secondary and post-secondary degrees. In 2011, over 55,000 participants nationwide graduated from a Registered Apprenticeship program.
What are the Advantages of Registered Apprenticeship?
The Registered Apprenticeship system provides a wide array of benefits.
For apprentices, benefits include:

The upgrading of workforce skills is key to the competitiveness of SMEs. In today’s business environment there is a premium on innovation that enables firms to develop new products and services, new production processes and new business models. This requires both in-house innovation and the ability to absorb knowledge from other firms and organisations, both of which call for a skilled labour force. Skills are also a critical but understated resource for entrepreneurship seen in the sense of business creation. Similarly to workforce skills, entrepreneurship skills will boost the competitiveness of local businesses thanks to the improved strategic and management competences of the entrepreneur.

2. Youth unemployment, effects & apparent
paradoxes
According to EUROSTAT:
• Romanian general unemployment rate was 6,5% (EU: 107%);
• Romanian youth unemployment rate was 23,7% (EU: 21,4%) and
out of it 41,5% represents long term unemployment (EU: 29,3%);
• Romanian youth poverty and exclusion rate was 44,3% (EU: 29,8%)
and out of it 32,5% with severe material deprivation (EU: 10,6%).
Brain drain, especially among BA & MA students.
According to the MANPOWER Talent Shortage Survey 2012, in
Romania 45% of the employers have difficulties in filling jobs due to
the lack of available talent. The most common reasons are the lack
of technical competencies, the lack of experience and the lack of
employability skills.
3. Youth unemployment external
(macroeconomic) causes
• Romanian authorities’ lack of vision and action in
stimulating youth integration on the labor market;
• Misfit between the education curricula and the labor
market’s needs (lack of skills & practical experience);
• “Diploma factories” – corrupt educational system;
• Unfinanced public educational system;
• Global economic environment, with direct consequences
on: - jobs creation,
- recruitment policy (are preferred experienced
people),
- cut of the training budgets dedicated to fresh
graduates, due to the cutting costs policy.
4. Youth unemployment
personal causes
• Bad mentality about work and success;
• Bad national examples of success people –
uneducated politicians and “business men”;
• Lack of soft skills (especially enthusiasm /
motivation and professionalism);
• Low quality education;
• Lack of technical skills and practical experience;
• Lack of career planning and employability skills;
• Lack of networking and self marketing skills.
5. CareerKIT, the solution to
reduce youth unemployment
• The same level of skills will always generate the same
results.
• To solve this problem, the first thing we must do is to
build trust:
- youth’s trust in their own capacities, which will generate
enthusiasm and willingness to succeed, by offering them
the opportunity to develop their skills through high quality
trainings and educational projects;
- companies’ trust in youth potential by raising their
employability, which will generate also lower recruitment
and training costs for the employers.
• The Romanian fiscal legislation allows CareerKIT and
the training market’s slump enables it.
6. CareerKIT, the solution to
reduce youth unemployment
• CareerKIT is a website that puts together the
free spots donated by the premium training
companies to obtain fiscal deductions and the
high quality trainings & educational projects
offered by the employers and the NGOs and
offer them to youth on a competitive basis. It
enables youth to better integrate on the labor
market and the partners to consolidate their
brand, to raise their sales or to find donors and
to obtain fiscal deductions. It fills the gap
between unskilled youth and the growing need
for talents, reducing the corporations’ HR costs.
7. CareerKIT, the solution to
reduce youth unemployment
• CareerKIT will also offer our own training program,
based on intelligence competitive tools, which will
consist in 4 trainings about:
- setting SMART professional objectives, according to
the personal motivation, interests, skills and education;
- identifying career opportunities using “unconventional
tools”;
- writing CVs and other career documents which will
reflect also the employers’ interests and not only the
candidate’s wishes / objectives;
- preparing for competitive selection processes by
matching the candidate’s wishes and objectives with the
employers’ interests.
8. CareerKIT, the solution to
reduce youth unemployment
• Through the partnerships and our own trainings, at the
end of the 5th year we will enable 50.000 Romanian
young students and fresh graduates to fulfill their career
objectives by helping them to improve their skills and
employability.
• CareerKIT will be implemented using also volunteers
(who will be able to develop their skills).
• The impact will be measured in a qualitative manner, by
using follow-ups after 3 and 6 moths they had the
training.
• CareerKIT’s value was recognized by the European
Economic and Social Committee, through the European
Projects Awards competition (Best Idea award).
