“…"I think people find them more difficult than they realised to start with, or they don This is consistent with the literature, Bilginsoy (2003) suggested that apprentices were less likely to complete their training if they were not well informed on the nature of the trade and training programme or were not correctly matched with the trade. Forsblom et al (2016) reported that the use of job interviews and company visits, which exposes the trainees to expectations of the training programme, increased completion rates. However, the government points out that when monitoring the training providers, they check to ensure the apprenticeship is suitable for the apprentice (HM Government, 2018).…”

“…When accurate information regarding the scope of the trade and training programme is not correctly shared with an apprentice, it may result in the apprentice quitting their job (Bilginsoy, 2003;Forsblom et al, 2016). Another inference from the statement by AP03 is that apprentice programme is not seen as a career route on its own.…”

For instance, research has shown that exposure of prospective trainees to the content of training and working conditions during recruitment improves completion rates (Forsblom et al, 2016). This information ensures that prospective trainees make informed choices about their preferred trades.…”

“…Nevertheless, active prevention of dropout is extremely important because a dropout always implies a loss of resources for the training company and has a demotivating effect on the trainees (Schmid & Stalder, 2012). At worst, it may lead to both the trainee giving up on education and training for good and the training company no longer taking on trainees (Forsblom, Negrini, Gurtner, & Schumann, 2016). A dropout should however not always be equated with an exit from the education and training system.…”

In Germany the dual vocational education system plays a central role in preparing young people for work. In order to succeed on the labour-market they need competences that go way beyond knowledge and cognitive skills. A quarter of trainees however dropout of vocational education raising questions about their professional action competence. This paper discusses the issue as to what extent subjective ideas of trainees from different occupational fields about their competences compiled using a questionnaire for Social, Methodical, and Personal Competences (SMP-C) are reliable and valid regarding the social, methodical, and personal competence classes. This entails an examination as to whether the SMP-C competence assessment questionnaire features satisfactory psychometric characteristics, on how the formed ability concepts behave towards each other and other constructs, and which competence values can be diagnosed. In order to examine these questions 937 trainees were asked about their competences and tendencies to dropout of vocational training. The analysis attests the assessment procedure overall satisfactory to good reliability, which speaks in favour of surveying social, methodical, and personal ability concepts using the subjective ideas of trainees regarding the application of competences. Furthermore, it seems that a stronger manifestation of specific social, methodical, and personal competences reduces the tendency to dropout of vocational training. Hence it might be possible to prevent early dropout from vocational training through specific strengthening of these competences.
