Commercial Occupations Between Theory and Regulatory Practice
One of BIBB's primary responsibilities is to update and develop occupations that require completion of formal initial or continuing vocational training. Trends in the work that the respective occupation requires in actual practice and the latest research findings are to be taken into account in connection with these activities.
What actually determines the tasks that constitute the work involved in a commercial occupation? What are the shared areas of focus and what differences do we observe in commercial and managerial occupations? How can corresponding occupational families be developed? What requirements will people in commercial occupations have to meet in the future?
These and other questions will take centre stage at a conference being hosted by BIBB. Selected findings from the current BIBB research project "Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede kaufmännisch-betriebswirtschaftlicher Aus- und Fortbildungsregelungen" (Commonalities and Differences in Regulations for Initial or Continuing Vocational Training for Commercial and Managerial Occupations) will be presented.
The conference is aimed at instructors, trainers, vocational school teachers, researchers and representatives of vocational training policy.
The following topics will stimulate an exchange of views and the sharing of experience between researchers and practitioners:
- What do commercial and managerial occupations that require completion of formal initial or continuing vocational training have in common? What are the differences between them?
- How important are accounting and controlling currently in vocational training? How important will they be in the future?
- What does service-orientedness mean for commercial occupations and which forms of interaction and communication with customers will become more important in the future?
- What should a concept for business-oriented thinking and action look like and how can such a concept support the structures of the individual occupations?
An economics instructor and the head of an SME will give their views on the subject of "Economic vocational training that focuses on people as company operators and as the persons concerned". The conference will end with a round table discussion during which representatives of the social parties, research community and Germany's federal ministries will talk about the subject of "The prospects for vocational training for commercial occupations 0 A look at the future".
