No less important in existing models of the dual system of preparation, the
enterprises – social partners receive significant preferences from the state that can be
used for their development, and incidentally they have a positive image in society.
Enterprises in this way contribute to increasing the chances of youth for a successful
professional start [10].
Such a system also encourages scientific and socio-economic cooperation
between educational institutions, academics, the public with employers, it contributes
to the development of branch science, and the wide introduction of new technologies.
The participation of enterprises in the elaboration of new qualifications frameworks;
the creation of their passports of specialties and professions greatly accelerates the
economic development of the state as a whole. For the educational institution obvious
advantages are additional financing from the enterprise, scientific and socio-economic
cooperation with it, direct participation in the elaboration and testing of new
qualifications frameworks, certification of workplaces, as well as the availability of
opportunities for internships and advanced training in the production process.
If into account all advantages mentioning above, it should be noted in general that
the introduction of such a system requires, first of all, a solid legal basis and financial
support from the state [4].
Enterprises for the training of future employees have to allocate qualified mentors,
provide them with the necessary level of training and create a special expense item of
financing training. In contrast, it is impossible to achieve the appropriate quality of
professional preparation and its universality within a particular profession. The
employer also have to carefully plan the development of the company's labor resources
for a sufficiently long period of time, for at least three years of training. This is
practically difficult to do, since there is always a so-called structural mismatch between
the training places offered by the region and the demand for them by applicants of
professinal education. On one specialty the demand can be increase, while on others
are unpopular the places can be remain vacant [14].
So, by participating in the creation of training plans for vocational training and
production training programs, the employer must have a precise idea of the
professional training's content of the specialist in this industry, based on the only
professional standards and qualifications frameworks in the country. Therefore, it is no
accident that in spite of the positive image, in many countries there is a periodic
decrease in the readiness of enterprises to participate in the dual system of education.
Significant disadvantages can be noted for student youth. In general, such a
program is designed for well-motivated students with a high level of self-awareness,
formed by a culture of educational work, with distinct professional guidelines. As the
survey of primary sources shows, the students studying under a dual system are
significantly more educated because they need to learn the necessary theoretical
