Although interest in vocational education and training among school leavers from immigrant families is quite high, the chances of young people who hold foreign passports of receiving such education and training are below average and have been stagnating for years. Despite the fact that many of these young people achieve good school leaving certificates, a high proportion of them do not go on to acquire a recognized vocational qualification.

Hence young adult foreign nationals are left holding no recognized vocational certification considerably more frequently than are young Germans. There are many different reasons for this.

BIBB research into the subject of vocational education and training for young people from immigrant backgrounds takes place mainly within the framework of a long-term study analysing the chances and prospects of this target group in vocational education and training.

The following articles

  • shed light on the vocational training situation of young people from immigrant backgrounds,
  • analyse the obstacles encountered by young immigrants in the course of their vocational training and integration into the labour market, and
  • discuss possible ways to employ the potential of young people from immigrant backgrounds more effectively in vocational education and training..
