Dear David, I found this paper useful in researching creative education. Guile, D., & Okumoto, K. (2007). 'We are trying to reproduce a crafts apprenticeship': from Government Blueprint to workplace-generated apprenticeship in the knowledge economy. Journal of Vocational Education & Training, 59(4), 551 - 574. It's about the future development of apprenticeship in the creative sector in the UK and internationally, and supports the idea that design is best learnt as a situated form of practice. Best wishes Dr Amanda Bill Institute of Design for Industry and Environment College of Creative Arts Massey University, Wellington New Zealand +64 4 8015799 ex 62555 email: [log in to unmask] On 2/02/12 3:55 AM, "David Balkwill" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: 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.
