Project description: To investigate structured pathways from secondary school to employment in the salmon aquaculture industry in Norway and Scotland with specific focus on vocational education apprenticeships involving formal partnerships between industry and education providers. I explored the 2+2 model of apprenticeship pathways in Norway which begin in VGS or upper-secondary school and continue in industry, together with the 4 year TAF model which additionally provides for a tertiary education pathway. In Scotland I explored the connections between secondary school National Progression Award programs in Aquaculture and Modern Apprenticeships in industry including partnerships between colleges and employers. I also explored the developing Foundation Apprenticeships model which is being implemented in the senior years of secondary schooling.
