Yes, part of it should be that the student gets academic credits that count towards graduation. Even establishing minimum and maximum quotas of which credits come from apprenticeships is healthy with moderation.<p>But a bigger part of it is that the University must provide for oversight so that the actual tasks assigned to the students is relevant to their academic goals, and that the complexity of the tasks increases progresively in order to present the students with renewed challenges according to their growing skillset.<p>Without this formal oversight, the whole thing could easily degenerate in a shady personal business where the school&#x27;s officials &quot;rent&quot; their pupil&#x27;s slave labor to the highest bidder.
