Training for unplaced applicants from previous years via training modules
At the meeting of the Board of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training, which took place on 13 June 2007, the representatives of the employers, employees and the federal states passed a resolution adopting a joint position in respect of the pilot initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) "Training for unplaced applicants from previous years via training modules",
thus "supporting in principle the BMBF's wish to bring about a significant decrease in the number of unplaced applicants from previous years over the course of the next few years". Notwithstanding this, the representatives of the employers, employees and the federal states advocate "a realistic evaluation of the qualitative and quantitative effects of the pilot initiative" and urge for the inclusion of supplementary activities.
The statutory function of the BIBB Board is to advise the Federal Government in all matters of principle relating to vocational education and training. It has equal representation of employers, employees, the federal states and the Federal Government.
