Smith, Erica, Walker, Arlene and Brennan Kemmis, Ros 2011, The psychological contract in apprenticeships and traineeships : differing perceptions, in AVETRA Proceedings of the 14th Annual Conference. Research in VET : Janus - reflecting back, projecting forward, AVETRA, [Melbourne, Vic], pp. 1-11.
As with any contract of employment, the mutual expectations of the employer and the apprentice/trainee are very important. Apprenticeships and traineeships have greater expectations than other employment contracts of employment because of the training component of the contract. This paper reports on some of the findings of a major NCVER-funded national project examining mutual expectations in apprenticeships and traineeships through the concept of the psychological contract. The paper focuses on the differences between employers and apprentices/trainees, in the expectations each party has of the other and in the extent to which the expectations are perceived to have been met.
