National apprenticeship programme evaluation: Ten-year follow-up

Project Active from 1 Feb 2023 to 31 Aug 2024 Firms and Sustainable Growth

This project involves a ten-year follow-up survey of 3,400 young individuals who applied for a traditional apprenticeship through a government placement program in Ghana in 2012. The survey examines long-term earnings trajectories as businesses established by these trainees evolve, and assesses intergenerational productivity in the new firms created by the graduating apprentices.
