Quality Apprenticeships
Guide for Policymakers - Quality Apprenticeships Recommendation, 2023 (No. 208)
This ILO guide supports the implementation of Quality Apprenticeships in line with Recommendation 208.
In a rapidly changing global economy, the demand for a skilled and adaptable workforce is more critical than ever.
Quality apprenticeships provide a powerful pathway to equip individuals with the skills needed to succeed in the labour market while fostering employment, enhancing productivity, and promoting inclusive economic growth.
The ILO’s Guide for Policy Makers on Quality Apprenticeships offers practical insights and actionable strategies to build apprenticeship systems that are effective, equitable, and sustainable. Grounded in the principles of the ILO’s Quality Apprenticeships Recommendation, 2023 (No. 208), the guide emphasizes the importance of structured programmes, inclusivity, and the protection of apprentices’ rights, including fair remuneration, safe working conditions, and access to social protection.
Through social dialogue and collaboration among employers, workers’ organizations, and other stakeholders, policymakers can design apprenticeship systems that meet the highest standards, ensuring benefits for individuals, businesses, and society.
