Recommendation to establish new recognised training occupations with less complex requirements for qualified skilled labour
The Standing Committee of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training welcomed the suggestions on training strategies for sustained fields of activity which are useful to the labour market with less complex requirements serving as the basis with which to create respectively recognised training vocations for qualified skilled labour.
It advocated the rapid creation of such training professions for the fields of industrial production, commerce, assembly and recycling, repair and maintenance, assistance and support, organisation, leisure time and logistics with the aim of issuing initial training regulations and establishing additional training opportunities as early as 2004.
