Apprenticeship 2.0 in Practice: Evidence from Employer-Led Workforce Integration in the UAE
Session Summary:
This session presents research on evolving apprenticeship models in the UAE, based on data from 283 apprentices across industry-linked vocational programs. The presentation challenges traditional success metrics (enrollment and graduation rates) and introduces a workforce integration perspective where employment begins during training. Findings reveal patterns of full-time and unpaid contractual arrangements, exposing strengths and tensions in employer-led models. The session proposes an "Apprenticeship 2.0" framework that repositions vocational education as a co-owned system between education providers and industry, offering practical implications for policymakers and employers navigating the AI-driven economy. Join this session to:
• Understand why workforce integration during training provides more meaningful success indicators than traditional enrollment and graduation metrics
• Analyse the benefits and challenges of employer-led apprenticeship models based on empirical evidence from 283 UAE apprentices
• Apply the "Apprenticeship 2.0" framework to design co-owned vocational education systems between institutions and industry partners
