An eye-opening article that will make you think deeply about common education systems and models. “Today in America, fewer than 5 percent of young people train as apprentices, the overwhelming majority in the construction trades. In Germany, the number is closer to 60 percent—in fields as diverse as advanced manufacturing, IT, banking, and hospitality. And in Europe, what’s often called “dual training” is a highly respected career path…What education reformers call “lifelong learning” is still a distant dream for most Americans. In Germany, it’s a reality.”

dual training, a.k.a. on-the-job training. hate to admit it, but this might be the one (1) thing europeons do better than us. our much less formal method means we invariably skip over important items in our training.
