The Recommendation on high-quality apprenticeships is a labour standard which intends to meet the dynamic nature of the labour market and give people of all ages the chance to continuously develop their skills. In addition to providing a precise definition of apprenticeships, the guideline establishes aspirational benchmarks for high-quality apprenticeship programmes. It emphasises how crucial it is to safeguard trainees’ rights and ensure their welfare throughout the apprenticeship period.
