We have not found any formal barriers to collaborative apprenticeship schemes in
Sweden. At the moment there is weak demand, but if the employers’ need for
competence remains strong, the situation can change.

Collaborative apprenticeships aren’t yet widespread in Romania, and both the
legal framework and definitions of “apprentice/apprenticeship” are still relatively
rigid. Therefore we will focus on potentially ideas of how this concept “shared
apprenticeship” can be applied within the newly-introduce VET system. Here we
will use the term “apprentice” with its broad meaning encompassing the category
of dual VET students in a contractual relation with an economic agent (as the
Romanian legislation makes a clear distinction between dual VET students and
‘apprentices’ – persons getting a professional qualification directly at the
workplace, without necessarily being enrolled into the formal education system).
In Romania, dual VET is quite new, this being only the second year when it is
applied nationally (the Romanian education system is a centralized one) with the
legal framework and methodology only being published in March 2017. Isolated
initiatives were however taking place earlier, independently implemented by large
multinational employers (such as Bosch) in need of specifically qualified workforce.
Currently, dual VET specializations are available for NQF level 3 (professional
training), the methodology mentioning the possibility of continuation to level 4
and 5.
The duration of a VET program is 3 years, with the number of practical training
within the company growing progressively, from 5 weeks in the first year to 9,
respectively 10 weeks during years 2 and 3. The number of dual VET classes within
