One of the most challenging and crucial fields for development of apprenticeship in Lithuania is funding. Transparent division of responsibilities in funding based on the interests and long term benefits to the stakeholders presents real challenge in the case when there are no traditions and experience of private funding or co-funding in VET. It may require developing a set of different co-funding solutions or mechanisms. Development of apprenticeship funding system may require proceeding on the basis of step by step piloting/testing stages for the adaptation, or, in certain cases, it might be necessary to construct more adapted packages based on inter-complementary instruments. Stakeholders and the social partners must be involved in the development of the apprenticeship system in Lithuania. Employers and trade unions are at the point of production where much of the learning will take place and employers define the labour market needs that must be addressed in designing the curriculum. Apparent good practice from the benchmark countries demonstrates the potential for the social partners to establish networks and structures of cooperation and partnership that cover very wide fields of apprenticeship training, from the development of vocational profiles and curricula to questions of funding and quality assurance.
