Ralf W. Maier and Bernd Rupprecht, LL.M. In March 2011, the Federal Government published a draft bill for a law to improve the assessment and recognition of foreign vocational and professional qualifications. This draft bill is currently being debated in the Bundesrat (the legislative body that represents the federal states) and in the Bundestag. The so-called "Recognition Act" will make it considerably easier for immigrants and Germans who have learned an occupation abroad to exercise employment appropriate to their qualifications in Germany.

Frank Czichos In April 2008 management and labour in the chemical industry signed the Collective Agreement on "Work life and demography" (Tarifvertrag "Lebensarbeitszeit und Demografie" - TV DEMO), thus becoming one of the first industrial branches in Germany to conclude a collective agreement that tackled the consequences and challenges of demographic change and provided the companies with custom-built tools. Subsequently the collective agreement has been applied to other branches of the area of organisation of the IG BCE (Mining, Chemical and Energy Industrial Union); in some regions, for example, in the plastics industry.

Normann Müller, Ulrike Azeez Germany's anticipated shortage of skilled workers is a very talked-about subject - and is already reality in some sectors and regions of the country. In-company continuing vocational training is often regarded as being very important for meeting trade and industry's need for skilled labour. As part of its regular Referenz-Betriebs-Systems (RBS - Reference Company System) surveys, the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training surveyed training companies (companies that provide in-house vocational training) regarding their involvement in continuing vocational training.

Klaus Berger Insofar as initial and continuing training is not statutorily regulated or subject to collective wage agreements, the German Labour Management Relations Act makes provision for works councils to be accorded a series of co-determination rights with regard to the structuring of company-based training measures. Change processes within working environments have meant that vehicles such as a flexibilisation of training regulations have led to an expansion of this latitude in vocational education and training at a company level. |

Profesor Dr Friedrich Hubert Esser, President of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training Vocational education and training (VET) plays a major part in securing the supply of skilled workers in Germany. It will make an increasingly important contribution to solving the growing skills problem, and will prove its worth particularly when it comes to maximising the country's latent qualification potential. Young people who lack apprenticeship-entry maturity, people from migrant backgrounds and older employees are becoming the priority focus.
