That has the impact of closing a common channel to introduce young people into the workforce. Thus, we need to create new doors for them to enter. School-To-Work rotational programmes allow students to join the business in non-critical functions. The students gain 1) experience and 2) an overview of the different functional areas of a business. The business can test potential employees across a variety of different areas and assess their motivations, ambitions, and talents.
Apprenticeship programmes provide a strong example from artisan and craft-based work. Apprenticeship programmes allow the Master to off-load non-critical tasks to the apprentice whilst instructing the apprentice in the craft. However, that immediate depth is not as suited to corporate environments, for a measure of experience is required before the student is to differentiate.
