Abstract
The Youth Training Scheme (YTS) became operational nationally in September 1983. In May 1990, Youth Training (YT) was introduced to replace YTS. Throughout the economy, substantial numbers of new entrants to the labour market were subsidized by both schemes. In professional football in England and Wales, the former ad hoc system of “apprenticeship” was replaced by a more uniform systemic programme of both “specific” and “general” training, operating under the aegis of the Footballers’ Further Education and Vocational Training Society. Examines data to show how, subsequent to the implementation of the YTS/YT schemes in professional football, the number of registered contract professionals has increased: the ratio of contract professionals to trainees has decreased and the inter‐divisional distribution of apprentices/trainees has changed, with proportionately more trainees than before now registered with clubs in the lower divisions. Additionally, describes the “specific” (i.e. football club‐based) and “general” (i.e. college‐based) components of the training programme.
