The latest Inside Innovation column from Dr. Lindsay Langill looks at modern apprenticeship and a rethink of the time-based model.

According to Greek mythology, Procrustes was an innkeeper who operated his establishment along a busy road. He believed in uniformity.

Within education there are well established learning theories that not only explain how learning takes place but also why learning occurs. Better known as a “time-based system,” it requires each registered apprentice to attend the same amount of time in school and compile a minimum set number of workplace hours prior to writing a final qualification exam.

One sector that relies heavily on the apprenticeship system to train up skilled men and women is the construction sector. Residential, commercial and industrial construction employers depend heavily on having a skilled workforce to complete their projects. When learners have a deep understanding of their strengths and weaknesses and the competencies where they lack or excel, they are better able to focus their development efforts to improve their shortcomings.

Another researcher stated “compared with the traditional approach to training, the competency-based approach potentially leads to individualized flexible training, a reduction in time away from the workplace, transparent standards and increased public accountability.”
