British Modern Apprenticeship from the Perspective of Industry-Education Integration:Educational Model and Driving Mechanism
From the perspective of industry-education integration,Britain has successfully transitioned from traditional to modern apprenticeship systems,establishing two distinct school-enterprise collaboration models:the"Enterprise-School-EPAO"cooperation for intermediate and advanced apprenticeships and the"Enterprise-University"cooperation for higher and degree apprenticeships.With the increasing demand for innovative technical talents in the era of intelli-gentization,the number of individuals receiving intermediate and advanced apprenticeships is de-clining,while those participating higher and degree apprenticeships are increasing significantly.The four key internal drivers of its success are the government policy support,employer leadership and participation,demand-driven transformations among training providers,and the personal de-velopment needs of apprentices.The UK experience suggests that we can focus on four areas of work:establishing specialized legislation and funding for apprenticeships,vigorously promoting undergraduate-and master-level apprenticeships,implementing project-based management for apprenticeships,and strengthening guidance and support for student apprentices.
