  1. All variables are weighted with sampling weights. “Frequency of curriculum revision” refers to a categorical variable with the categories less often, keep, and more often; in this table displayed as three distinctive dummies. The dependent variable “retain apprenticeships mostly” is a dummy with one for firms that plan to retain apprentices after the apprenticeship period in the “majority of cases”, and zero otherwise. The variable “share apprentices in firm after one year” captures the share of apprentices that work at their training firm within one year after they completed their apprenticeship. The variable “share contract termination” captures the share of premature apprenticeship contract terminations
