Abstract

Tom Bailey correctly identifies the greatest challenges to successfully transforming the idea of youth apprenticeship into reality. Although his cautions are well founded, they do not justify the turn toward alternative approaches that he recommends, especially not before demonstration projects that are just now being mounted have had time to yield results. Specific components can be built into an American-style youth apprenticeship system so that it avoids the pitfalls Bailey has identified and simultaneously serves the goals of education, equality, and prosperity. © 1993, Sage Publications.
