Apprenticeship training in FinlandApprenticeship training refers to a system of vocational education organized at a workplace, and it is based on temporary employment contract. Some of 80% of learning takes place on the job and remaining 20% in the vocational institute.
The main aim of apprenticeship training is to produce to students competence and qualifications that correspond with working life.
The core curriculum and qualification requirements are the same in apprenticeship training and institution-based vocational education.
