Agriculture modern apprentices : factors affecting completion : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education in Adult Education at Massey University
(Massey University, 2008) Jackson, Bev
The Modern Apprentice Programme was introduced in 2001 to help target employment opportunities for young people in positions within industries giving them opportunities to gain industry-recognised national qualifications in a supported environment. This Programme was targeted at young people aged 16 to 21 years with guidance and support being provided by Modern Apprenticeships Coordinators (MAC) appointed by the different industries they represented. This research set out to identify the ways this scheme has assisted trainees within the Dairy Industry to achieve their goals, to identify what worked and what didn't, from the Modern Apprentices' (MA) point of view, the Employers and the Training Advisers (TA).
