Never thought of collaboration as being a natural successor to apprenticeship.

Makes sense, though.

Equally, I'd never really formally categorised apprenticeship as being a learning activity (in the UK there's a residual association with 'job creation' and cheap labour).

And if *I* haven't made that connection then heaven knows what the people I work with think of it all.

Thinking allowed now. Thanks for putting a cat among my pigeons.
