> Germany has this fairly institutionalized

In the UK some organisations belong to 'the 5 percent club' [0] whose aim is that at least 5% of the workforce is formed from apprentices and sponsored graduates. It's not yet institutionalized but a good step in the right direction. I used to work for one of the founder organisations and it was quite common to meet prople who had joined as apprentices and were now achieving good work place qualifications and experience. I was always impressed by their motivation and pragmatism
