摘要:The article deals with Work-Based Learning (WBL) provision by enterprises in selected EU countries. WBL is a
form of education that combines teaching with practical training and is considered to bring many benefits to
students, educational institutions and societies. Therefore, there is pressure on developing WBL as well as
researching its impact on EU countries. The main aim of the article is to analyse the influence of cities’ industrial
profiles on WBL and to identify how the industrial profile of a city can be reflected in the provision of WBL. In order
to analyse the impact of selected factors on WBL, two econometric models with logistic regression were designed
and applied. In addition to the type of city, the models included variables such as the size category of the
enterprise, the proportion of students in higher education, the proportion of people not in employment, education
or training in the country and the perception of WBL by the enterprises. The results of the analysis show that the
industrial profile of a city affects the provision of WBL. There is a higher chance of providing WBL in cities where
business, administration and law are predominant rather than in cities where other types of economic activities
prevail.
