Editorial: A new training year with major challenges

Friedrich Hubert Esser, Professor Dr., President of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB)

Increasingly the focus of research and political discussion, a structured career orientation process ought to be in place at the start of training. This process can be regarded as successful if young people are in a position to make a career choice which reflects their capabilities and talents. This is because we know people are more satisfied at work if they make a decision which, as far as possible, is well suited to their own ideas and capabilities. However not all young people manage to start training in their desired Career.

Refugees on their way into training - what support do they want? Top of the page

Julia Gei, Stephanie Matthes

The integration of refugees in training is currently one of the key socio-political challenges facing Germany. But how successful has this been so far? In the 2016 migration study, which was conducted by the BIBB in cooperation with the Bundesagentur für Arbeit [Federal Employment Agency] around 1,600 vocational education and training (VET) applicants from a refugee background were surveyed about their current situation and on their views and opinions. The results highlight the problems perceived by refugees on their way into training and the areas in which they would like to have support.

Dualised training programmes on the Philippines

Michael Schwarz, Felix Wenzelmann, Maricris V. Capistrano

Companies have been involved in dual training in the Philippines since 1994. However their participation rate is minimal and the dual system of vocational education and training is not the focus of government stakeholders. Greater transparency of costs and benefits relating to company training might contribute to initiating, and empirically justifying, education policy decision-making which is specifically targeted at consolidating this qualification pathway. The article introduces key finds from the cost-benefit analysis as well as survey results which are considered in terms of recommendations for the next steps in the conclusion.
