0 j'aime•309 vues
The document discusses strategies for tackling skill shortages and youth unemployment, using Switzerland as a case study. Three key ingredients for success are identified as public investment, employer engagement, and family/community support. The Swiss approach centers around apprenticeships with sustained school-employer collaboration. This results in low youth unemployment rates in Switzerland of 3-5% for teenagers, 7-9% overall, and 6% for the youth unemployment ratio. Quality is ensured through measures like vocational trainers and career counselors. The roles of employers, the state, and community are also outlined.
