This research is part of an international comparative study about the implementation and enactment of the German model of dual apprenticeships (DA) in India and Mexico. Drawing on interviews with the beneficiaries of the programme, this summary characterizes the motivations and trajectories of Mexican apprentices and DA graduates and examines some of the mediating factors that explain the different impact of dual apprenticeships on their educational and labour market outcomes.
