Ideal and actual quality of in-company vocational training
Discussion paper, issue109
Instruments and methods for quality assurance are currently the subject of intense discussion in the vocational training field. This discussion focuses on the questions of which requirements and objectives future-oriented vocational training must meet and how this type of training should be organized.
This discussion paper answers these question from the standpoint of enterprises that provide in-company vocational training ('training firms'). Drawing on a nationwide survey, it ascertains which attributes training firms use to define training quality and which aspects are of central importance to their understanding of quality and which are of marginal importance. It then examines the extent to which firms meet their own quality standards in day-to-day training practice.
