• Abstract:
  The article analyses the economic and non-economic determinants of the decision to offer apprenticeships to young workers in a company. The analysis was based on interviews with employers conducted as a part of the BECKER study in 2014. The authors briefly review the literature on the costs and benefits of apprenticeship training. The analysis of the collected qualitative data helped to identify the major costs, benefits and risks associated with apprenticeship training in Polish companies. The article also shows how employers may perceive the overall balance of costs and benefits of apprenticeship training. It was found that profitability could be equally dependent on economic factors (the short or long-term cost-effectiveness of investments in apprenticeship training), as well as non-economic factors (e.g. the need for companionship, the desire to maintain a given profession, a sense of mission to support young people from the local community).
