6th BIBB Vocational Education and Training Congress 2011
19 - 20 September 2011 in Berlin
6th BIBB Vocational Education and Training Congress 2011
Initial and continuing vocational education and training is currently undergoing deep-seated change. The shortage of skilled workers, demographic development and the value placed on vocational education and training in relation to other educational areas both in Germany as well as in international comparative terms are all future issues in which VET will need to re-position itself. For reasons of social responsibility, every single person will need to be integrated into this process. Nobody must be forgotten. This is why we have decided that the motto for the 6th BIBB Vocational Education and Training Congress will be "Developing competences - opening up opportunities".
We are sure that this congress will offer you an appropriate platform in your capacity as a representative of VET policy, academic research or practice and will provide a vehicle for stimulating debate which will open up perspectives and enable us to work together to find answers to the urgent questions faced by vocational training.
Staff at BIBB are looking forward to welcoming you to the congress.
