Providing training for youth is a fundamental question that each generation must address, especially in an ever-changing economic environment that challenges both training content and delivery methods. Societal preferences also evolve, raising concerns about how well existing educational institutions can adapt to new requirements. This collection of papers focuses on apprenticeship, a crucial training pillar for non-college-bound youth in many Western European countries, with other nations considering its adoption. The analysis explores the benefits of training for both trainees and firms, examining prospects for apprentices in the labor market, the link between apprenticeship training and early career mobility, and the costs and benefits for firms offering such training. It also questions the socially optimal amount of training. The release of new datasets has enabled the exploration of previously unstudied questions, making this work a valuable resource for anyone interested in apprenticeship training, whether for academic research or practical application.
