There are quite some apprenticeships in the field of IT! They are existing for quite some time now - at least for 13 years: (sorry for caps lock - this is copy and paste)
- FACHINFORMATIKER ANWENDUNGSENTWICKLUNG (software eng./dev.)
- FACHINFORMATIKER SYSTEMINTEGRATION (sys. integration)
- IT-SYSTEM-ELEKTRONIKER (IT technicians)
- IT-SYSTEM-KAUFMANN (IT business)
- INFORMATIKKAUFMANN (again IT business)
- Mathematisch-technische Software-Entwickler
- Informationselektroniker
- Fachangestellte für Medien- und Informationsdienste
- Mediengestalter Digital und Print In conclusion: the chamber of commerce ideed did its job. If they did it very well is a question of perspecitve. To bring this into startup context: Most very early Startups won't take apprenticeships as this is an additional workload and overhead (apprentices want to be tought...) that might not pay off in the short term. As an apprentice I would also think twice about joining a startup as one needs at least 2 1/2 years to finish the apprenticeship. (Startups might not exist that long.) my 2 cents |

But your right a startup with say 5 developers trying to develop a product in a short time scale is probably not suitable for trainees.
How how do the apprenticeships is it day release or block? 1 day a week at college and working 4 days a week is not that to much to ask from an employer? especially as apprentice's probably are paid less.
I am assuming there is a system of training levies so that the cost is born across the whole of industry - when I did mine (in mech eng) we joked that the government gave the employer more in grant subsidy for us than our actual salary.
