120 THE WORKPLACE APPRENTICESHIP CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYMENT IN COMPARATIVE LAW; REGULATION OF SPANISH LAW

Summary/Abstract: With the 2011 and 2012 legislative reforms in Spain, the subject of thetraining and learning contract has changed, meaning that the professional qualification ofemployees is made under a regime of alternation of paid work in an enterprise withvocational training received under the vocational training system employment or within theeducation system. Consequently, the traditional concept of the training and learning contracthas been overcome, allowing, on the one hand, the provision of an accredited professionalqualification to all those young people who do not have it; and, on the other hand, to providethe employee simultaneously with effective work in a company directly related to the traininghe/she receives, which will favour a better link between work and learning at the workplace.Thus, with the introduction of this amendment to the contract, a legal construction existingunder the German rule of law was included in the Spanish rule of law, this being the dualtraining system, which is characterized by the duality of vocational training, in the sense thatit is carried out in two different learning places, on the one hand, in vocational schools whereabout a quarter of the learning time takes place and, on the other hand, in the companywhere it develops, about three quarters of the school year. That is why we will analyse thelegal status of the training and learning contract in Spain and the peculiarities of thiscontract.
