Apprenticeship training

Introduction
Apprenticeship is a fixed-term contract between an employer and a student, and the company will pay the student a salary determined in the collective agreement from the duration of the apprenticeship. A training compensation will be paid for the employer.
Both young people and adults can take vocational studies through an apprenticeship. The students prove their competence at the workplace over the course of their training. Vantaa Vocational College Varia's working life services organise apprenticeship training.
Prerequisites
It is available to anyone over the age of 15, as long as they have a job or work as an entrepreneur. An employment relationship can be an existing relationship or it can be initiated through recruitment.
Apprenticeship training is a good option when
-
training personnel for new and changing duties
-
the employee lacks vocational training
-
the employer wishes to refresh the staff’s professional competence
-
recruiting new employees
-
an entrepreneur wants to train and develop their own competence in their company
The same degrees can be learned through apprenticeship training as through institutional education.
