The qualification of the apprenticeship contract from the point of view of the legal nature is particularly important from the perspective of the rules applicable to labor relations. According to the definition given by Law no. 279/2005 on apprenticeship at the work place, the apprenticeship contract is an individual labor contract of a particular type.
The apprenticeship contract is an individual employment contract because the apprentice, in terms of working relations, is subordinated to the employer, and the conclusion, execution, modification, suspension and termination of the apprenticeship contract are made subject to compliance with the Labor Code regulations, and is particular due to the legal characters it presents, but especially the subject of the contract: the provision of work simultaneously with the apprenticeship training in an organized framework, which enables him/her to acquire an occupation at the end of the contractual period.
