Abstract
It is recognized in the scientific literature that training in apprenticeship–mentoring programs is a very effective form of training that provides young people with skills that allow them to experience fewer problems when moving from the stage of vocational training to entering the labor market. However, a prerequisite for the successful functioning of the training system for apprenticeship–mentoring programs is the presence of a sufficiently large number of companies willing to train young people.
The factors influencing companies’ readiness for training are analyzed in interdisciplinary theoretical and applied research, the main conclusion of which is that the decision to create and implement in–house training programs (professional internship programs) is made by companies using data on the state of the regional labor market and the structure of the regional education system. At the same time, regional differences in data should be used within the same national training system. This is a significant condition for comparative studies, since the unity of the educational system allows us to fix the uniformity of influence on the decision–making about education, which is impossible when conducting an analysis at the international level.
The paper presents data reflecting the factors of decision–making by Swiss commercial companies on the implementation of apprenticeship–mentoring programs within the framework of corporate educational policy.
