Abstract

This paper seeks to contribute to the knowledge of the relationship established between firms and vocational education and training (VET) schools around work placements in companies (both standard and extended, so-called ‘dual’, models) in Spain. An ad hoc survey of 332 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from two industrial regions was conducted and a categorical principal components analysis was applied to identify the main dimensions or components of those relationships. The main elements found are related to (i) staff selection and social responsibility; (ii) trust, reciprocity and knowledge sharing with schools; and (iii) the organizational culture of the companies. The results obtained illustrate an evolution from a ‘provider-client’ scheme towards a more strategic partnership between schools and firms, thus contributing new aspects to the literature available on the Spanish case.

从提供者到合作伙伴？巴斯克和纳瓦拉地区（西班牙）职业教育工作实习中学校与中小型企业之间关系的主要内容

本文旨在为了解西班牙企业与职业教育与培训（VET）学校之间围绕企业工作实习（标准模式和扩展模式，即所谓的 "双重 "模式）建立的关系做出贡献。我们对两个工业区的 332 家中小型企业（SMEs）进行了特别调查，并采用分类主成分分析法来确定这些关系的主要方面或组成部分。发现的主要因素涉及：(i) 员工选拔和社会责任；(ii) 与学校的信任、互惠和知识共享；(iii) 企业的组织文化。研究结果表明，学校与企业之间的关系从 "提供者--客户 "演变为更具战略性的伙伴关系，从而为有关西班牙案例的文献提供了新的内容。

期刊介绍： Increasing international competition has led governments and corporations to focus on ways of improving national and corporate economic performance. The effective use of human resources is seen as a prerequisite, and the training and development of employees as paramount. The growth of training and development as an academic subject reflects its growth in practice. The International Journal of Training and Development is an international forum for the reporting of high-quality, original, empirical research. Multidisciplinary, international and comparative, the journal publishes research which ranges from the theoretical, conceptual and methodological to more policy-oriented types of work. The scope of the Journal is training and development, broadly defined. This includes: The determinants of training specifying and testing the explanatory variables which may be related to training identifying and analysing specific factors which give rise to a need for training and development as well as the processes by which those needs become defined, for example, training needs analysis the need for performance improvement the training and development implications of various performance improvement techniques, such as appraisal and assessment the analysis of competence Training and development practice the design, development and delivery of training the learning and development process itself competency-based approaches evaluation: the relationship between training and individual, corporate and macroeconomic performance Policy and strategy organisational aspects of training and development public policy issues questions of infrastructure issues relating to the training and development profession The Journal’s scope encompasses both corporate and public policy analysis. International and comparative work is particularly welcome, as is research which embraces emerging issues and developments.
