> The German apprenticeship mode
Incidentally enough, I did my 1st year of apprenticeship (Biodynamische - Landwirtschaft) in Germany alongside University students who are mandated to do one semester of a sort of work study. I began as a person with a BSc in Biology and several years in the diagnostics Industry.
But I was taught under a guy who went through that system you described instead of going through real-schule and he bounced around the system, often misguided, as to what to do because of the aforementioned statement.
I personally decided to continue in other countries in Europe with a stronger culinary history after my first year, but I still think the German/Swiss model is a superior way to teach young adults practical skills in relevant Industries without the need for the debt traps that Universities have become.
