“…However, the dual apprenticeship system faces severe challenges, and the pandemic has reinforced some of these problems. Survey data suggest that in its early stages, the pandemic led to a reduction in the number of trainees in firms and negatively affected the take-over rate (Dummert & Umkehrer, 2021). Statistics on registered apprenticeship positions show that the number of apprenticeship positions offered in 2020 and 2021 was much lower than that in 2019 (Statistik der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, 2021).…”

This article presents novel empirical findings on whether and under what conditions the public supports apprenticeship subsidies paid to training firms during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Drawing on the literature on justice research and deservingness theory, we construct an experimental factorial survey among individuals from German administrative records. The findings suggest selective support targeting the neediest firms, for example, small firms and firms strongly affected economically. Furthermore, we find that perceived deservingness is higher for firms offering apprenticeships in an area of skill shortage. Our results furthermore suggest that personal characteristics impact the assessment of the distribution of state support.
