“…Among them, Cedefop (2016) and OECD (2020) have presented the information about the structure of governance and financing of the VET system in Portugal. Other authors focus their analyses in the VET and Dual VET programmes, comparing the system in different countries, and the strategic levels of social partners and stakeholders involvement in governance (Emmenegger and Seitzl, 2020;Rauner & Wittig, 2010;Šćepanović and Martín Artiles, 2020). Some describe the changes in the traditional pedagogical concept of apprenticeship based in the master-apprentice relationship to the principle of 'duality', understood as combination of classroom teaching and in-company training (Markowitsch & Wittig, 2020).…”

“…The consensual definition of school-based VET is the one that involves the combination learning were at least 75% of the theoretical learning takes place at school (school-based VET) and 25% in a company (Cedefop, 2012). As for work-based learning in Dual VET, a large proportion (generally from 50% or more) of learning takes place in companies and is complemented by school-based learning (Šćepanović & Martín Artiles, 2020). In a wider sense, Dual VET can be also considered an 'Apprenticeship' (Cedefop, 2016).…”

“…VET and Dual VET systems also differ in their organisations among countries (Euler, 2013). Whereas in some countries, e.g., Germany, Dual VET is a long-established system that also serves as a typified model for other countries, in other European Member states (e.g., Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, Spain, Romania, Poland, and Sweden) Dual VET programmes have intensified between 2010 and 2018 as part of reforms targeting to reduce youth unemployment and improve Europe's industrial competitiveness and social cohesion (Euler, 2013;Šćepanović & Martín Artiles, 2020).…”

Portugal has been referred as one example of lower levels of integration of social partners in the governance of education and training systems (Sanz de Miguel, 2017). There is lack of research about the effectiveness of the governance of the only program close to the Dual VET concept: the Apprenticeship system. A pilot project of Dual VET ran from 2012 and terminated in 2016 without substantial evaluation. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the role social partners have in the governance of the existing Portuguese Apprenticeship system. We carried out extensive review of the scientific and grey literature about Dual VET for youngsters in Portugal, as well as database queries to official statistical sources. Our research reveals a complex formal role: The employment agency IEFP provides funding for Apprenticeship and negotiates with the main social partners the allocation of the Single Social Tax for its regional centres. Indirectly, many social partners are formally involved in the general VET governance participating in various coordination and monitoring structures of the National System of Qualifications and other regulatory agencies (IEFP and ANQEP). In this article we also discuss possible causes for the failure of the pilot Dual VET, which took effect within the scope of a curricular review of the primary and secondary education.

“…Their conceptual article focuses on corporative and decentralized governance structures where the authors develop a "framework for the analysis of cooperation in decentralised collective skill formation systems" (Emmenegger et al, 2019, p. 23) that is "helpful for the analysis of those areas of political economies in which actors face cooperation dilemmas within decentralised governance contexts" (p. 39). Cooperation as a condition of success is also emphasized in an article by Šćepanović and Artiles (2020). The concept of dual VET is discussed by explaining the competing logics behind it and providing an overview of the EU's policy approaches to VET.…”

Purpose: A systematic literature review has neglected for years in both national and international vocational educational and training (VET) policy research. Recently, scholarly interest in and the need for such a review has increased rapidly. This review introduces the application of the systematic literature review method, with a focus on research work completed in European VET policy. Approach: To investigate the value and applicability of the systematic literature review method in European VET policy research, we conducted a pilot study following the guidelines and procedures presented by Gessler and Siemer. Findings: First, the process of conducting a literature review and its major methodological steps are described, followed by a descriptive analysis of the sample and characteristics of the studies reviewed. Second, initial insights into the research methodology and the topics that emerged during its application are presented. Altogether, we documented a first attempt to systematize research on European VET policy, including lessons learned from conducting a systematic literature review. Conclusion: The review revealed that although research on international European VET policy research has increased in recent years, hardly any systematization of the current research has been proposed. Instead, most research has been limited to identifying specific country-related factors. By comparison, we propose a systematic approach to reviewing research on European VET policy, being well aware of the strengths and limitations of the proposed method and the results. Thus, this systematic review presents a substantial starting point and research agenda for further studies on this topic.

“…Quintini (2015 [74]) uses two variables from the background questionnaire for the Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC): the current status of the respondents (C_Q07), which includes "apprenticeship or internship" as an option and the type of contract (D_Q09), which includes "an apprenticeship or other training scheme" as an option. Those who report being in an apprenticeship in one of both of these variables are considered apprentices.…”
