National authorities for apprenticeship: encouraging companies as integral partners for apprenticeship in Greece and Cyprus

The project aims at improving and reassuring attractiveness, quality and effectiveness of the Greek and Cypriot apprenticeship system, through the transmission of know-how from countries having a tradition in properly operation of apprenticeship; it also aims at mobilising Greek and Cypriot companies to become involved in the apprenticeship model.

The project's key actions are the following:

1. identification and evaluation of innovative approaches and applications in existing apprenticeship systems,
2. mapping the special characteristics of the labour market and the business environment in Greece and Cyprus,
3. development of in-company procedures, incentives, methods and mechanisms of quality assurance, with regard to apprenticeship and
4. the promotion of networking among companies and apprenticeship providers.

The project focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
