Teach The Apprentice,starve The Master?

Apprenticeship is an old skill training method which has been handed down for a long time.It is widely used in China’s enterprises to train skilled workers.In China,the apprenticeship system has been widely used in the unit system,training apprentices who have only received basic cultural skills training,in order to become skilled workers.During the 30 years of reform in China,the reform of China’s market system has attracted people’s attention,and the unit system,which once occupied a very important position,has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.Workers,state-owned enterprises and private enterprises are all affected by the transformation of economic system.Therefore,in the process of transformation,the relationship between mentors and enterprises has undergone dramatic changes.Based on the perspective of sociology,this study explores how the apprenticeship system in private enterprises continues to develop from the perspective of whether technical masters are willing to accept apprentices.This paper attempts to take a small and medium-sized private enterprise(k factory)in a central city of Zhejiang Province as the observation object.Based on the investigation method of field research,the development history of K factory is tracked and investigated.Based on the in-depth investigation of the development history of K factory,the development status of apprenticeship system in K factory is investigated and analyzed,and in-depth interviews are conducted with apprentices about their employment,learning and working experience.From the perspective of political economy,this paper explores how the mentoring system can develop in small and medium-sized private enterprises with the corporate governance mechanism and market economy transformation as the core variables.In order to clarify the development context and interaction among apprenticeship,enterprise and market.Based on this,this paper further explores the development situation of apprenticeship under the influence of different market backgrounds and corporate governance systems,and explores how the last three achieve organic combination and mutual adaptation under the condition of mutual influence and restriction.Taking K factory in developed areas of Zhejiang Province as the main object,this paper explores the development and continuation mechanism of apprenticeship system.In the development process of more than 30 years,the mentoring system has gradually adapted to the drastic changes of the market,from the mode of adapting to the unit system and the mode of independent mentoring in rural areas to the "mentoring group" adapting to the informal employment mode in private enterprises.Master apprentice group refers to a large-scale cooperative group model with master as the core among teachers and apprentices through the mode of "no separation of teachers and apprentices".Such a group of teachers and apprentices can realize the training of apprentices’ skills and the protection of labor safety between teachers and apprentices.Through the emergence of mentoring groups,mentors in them realize the protection of their own labor safety.And then it realized the continuation and development of the apprenticeship system.The final conclusion is: the apprentice group can protect the apprentices in two aspects.On the one hand,it can resolve the real risks,including the high market access threshold and the unstable employment relationship caused by informal employment for apprentices;on the other hand,it can prevent the potential risks,including the master’s teaching skills The unemployment risk in recent years and the individual survival risk faced by apprentices after graduation.The formation of a master apprentice group is not only a protection for the master,but also a protection for the apprentices,which can effectively resolve the labor risks from the market and enterprises.It is the protection from these two aspects that makes the master and apprentice organically combine to form a master and apprentice group.
