Editorial: In turbulent times, we need vocational education and training which offers balance Friedrich Hubert Esser, Professor Dr., President of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) Nothing characterises our lives more than the phenomenon of acceleration. Media topics replace one another in the news at ever greater speed, and new smartphone models are released onto the market at shorter and shorter intervals. Such matters are a frequent source of fascination for us. At the same time, we ask ourselves what the price of this accumulating dynamism may be. Some fear that they will not be able to keep up and may even feel that digitalisation is jeopardising their job. In the light of growing digitalisation, networking and automation, the pressure on vocational education and training is increasing in much the same way. Especially in such turbulent times, we need a VET system which offers balance, combines tried and trusted elements with innovation and adopts an active yet cautious approach to driving forward reforms.

Digital technologies make work more demanding Felix Lukowski, Caroline Neuber-Pohl Although ongoing digitalisation of the production and of the service sector is stoking fears of job losses, there are indications that the overall effect on employment will be relatively slight. In fact, the main expectation is that the nature of work will fundamentally change. As the use of digital technologies increases, employees will be able to carry out more demanding tasks. This article uses data from a current additional survey of the BIBB-Establishment-Panel on Qualification and Competence Development to investigate the impacts of the deployment of digital technologies from firms' point of view. |

Modernisation of the IT occupations in the age of 4.0 Henrik Schwarz, Dr. Stephanie Conein,Herbert Tutschner BIBB has been investigating whether the four dual IT occupations, which have remained unchanged since 1997, need to be modernised. Against the background of the increasing digitalisation of the world of work, the aims of this process were to identify current and foreseeable requirements for skilled IT staff and to draw up proposals for the future shaping of the IT occupations. This article presents selected outcomes of the investigation and uses this to arrive at conclusions with regard to a possible rearrangement of IT occupations.

Initial training for the digitalised work Olaf Katzer, Stefan Kreher, Gert Zinke The digitalisation of work in the high-tech areas of the automobile industry and of the automobile supplier sector is a good example of the change in task and requirements profiles for skilled workers in engineering and plant construction. Within the scope of a pilot project, BIBB joined forces with the Volkswagen Academy to undertake a sample investigation of work tasks and activity profiles in the areas of operation, maintenance and repair of production systems. These were compared with existing training occupations and current training practice. After a brief description of the approach adopted, the article states the results which emerged and draws conclusions for possible changes in the structuring of training within the framework of existing occupations. It concludes by illustrating how these changes are presently being implemented on a step-by-step basis. |
