Traineeship in Ireland-Who does it serve?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Traineeship is a training policy initiative by the
Irish government targeting young job seekers. It was
modelled on similar programmes internationally and
had its basis in the Partnership agreements which
have underpinned Irish government policy since
1987.
At its core partnership is about balancing competing
agendas in an effort to reach consensus about the
way
forward. However, all stakeholders do not have
equal
power and therefore do not have equal levels of
influence. This book looks at how the partnership
model worked in practice at a policy and practical
level in terms of the traineeship initiative. It
focuses particularly on how it served the needs of
those who had least power, but most at stake, the
trainees. It reveals how the partnership ideal did
not deliver in practice for these young people and
explores how the process could have been changed to
address this weakness. The book is a doctoral
thesis and should be of particular interest to
people
working. or studying. in the areas of education,
policy analysis, critical theory and partnership. It
should also be of interest to doctoral students
generally.
