Dear David,
To be honest - virtually nothing. However I have come across an excellent model used at the School of Creative Arts here at Ulster, whereby a number of ex dance students now have placements as apprentices within various dance studios in the province. I am aware that some of the funding comes from the NI Arts Council.

Subject: Apprenticeships
Dear all,
This is a rather pragmatic question, some way away from most of the discussions on this list, but I'm sure you'll forgive me.
What does anyone know about the use of apprentice schemes in design education?
I'm primarily interested in product design, but other areas may have interesting examples.
I know about the French set up based initially on their BTS exams, but who else is working on this?
I suppose that a secondary question might look at what anyone thinks about these schemes?
Looking forward to your input.
Regards
David
