New fields for apprenticeship
2025 joint Cedefop-OECD symposium
For this symposium, ‘new fields’ refers to fields, sectors or occupations (or as a consequence specialties and programmes) that were not previously typically offered through apprenticeships. These might be entirely new for apprenticeship programmes (i.e. where apprenticeship programmes were offered for the first time), or used to be very small in terms of enrolments/participation but are now becoming more central to apprenticeship-related policies and choices of individuals.
The understanding of a ‘new field’ depends therefore on the national context, and may refer, for example, to health, business and administration, financial services, sales and marketing, design, and ICT/digital industries. In the light of the digital and green transitions, new programmes may also emerge in more traditional sectors (e.g. construction, crafts, food, hospitality/tourism), such as wind turbine technicians and photovoltaic installers.
