Tha Preantasachd na dhòigh ionnsachaidh a tha cho aost ri na bruthaichean, agus a tha air nochdadh ann an iomadach cruth thar nam bliadhnaichean. Bheir sinn sùil air an eachdraidh fhada, a'dol air ais gu àm nan sàr luchd-ciùird agus preantasan, agus chì sinn mar a tha an aon dòigh ionnsachaidh air a bhith air a chleachdadh tro na linntean.

Sna 60an agus na 70an rinn an t-uabhas bho na h-eileanan air gnìomhachasan troma leithid togail bhàtaichean Ghlaschu, far an robh cothrom aca ionnsachadh bho shàr luchd-ciùird.

Bho chionn ghoirid tha gluasad ann a-rithist gus barrachd chothroman a thoirt dha daoine airson ceàird a thoirt a-mach. Ciamar ge-tà a tha am modh-ionnsachaidh seo air atharrachadh thar nan ginealach? Agus e an seo an dòigh as fheàrr gus fuasgladh a thoirt dha daoine òga ann an saoghal caochlaideach na h-obrach san là an-diugh.

Na Ciùird - sealladh inntinneach, bhlàth air mar a tha ath-bheothachadh air a thighinn air seann dhòigh ionnsachaidh.

Now interest in being an apprentice has come back into fashion. How though has this model changed over the generations, and is this really the best approach to give young people their first steps in to the turbulent environment that is the modern world of work? Apprenticeships - a nostalgic, and fascinating look at how an enduring form of education is now back in vogue. Show less
