More training places with the help of "reduced-skill occupations"?
The situation on Germany's training place market has been tight for years. The number of new training contracts between training providers and trainees is on the decline. Young people with poor starting chances - young people who did not complete secondary school or had poor marks - have a particularly hard time finding a suitable training place.
Could less demanding occupations that require only two years of vocational training increase companies' willingness to provide in-plant vocational training? What prospects do individuals who have completed such training programmes have on the job market?
The Federal Institute for Vocational Training would like to invite you to join in the discussion on recognized occupations that require only two years of formal vocational training. The following two articles outline arguments in favour of occupations that require two years of less theoretical formal vocational training and occupations that involve formal graduated vocational training that is less focused on theory.
