CVTS 3 supplementary survey
National supplementary survey to the Third European Continuing Vocational Training Survey in enterprises (supplementary survey to CVTS3)
For more than 15 years, the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) has taken part in the methodological preparation and evaluation of the European Continuing Vocational Training Surveys (CVTS) being conducted in enterprises and has thus been involved in providing and analysing key data on in-company continuing vocational training for German and international vocational training research. BIBB conducted a national supplementary survey for each of the first two European Continuing Vocational Training Surveys. These supplementary surveys dealt with additional questions regarding qualitative aspects of continuing vocational training. The national supplementary survey was carried out with the aim of expanding the third European survey which was conducted in 2006 with the reference year 2005. The national survey was also to be linked with main European survey, as was the case with past CVTS surveys.
The primary objective of the third national supplementary survey was to provide supplementary data on in-company vocational training that would be used to deepen the key data on continuing in-company vocational training that was obtained through the main European survey. This supplementary survey was to concentrate first and foremost on topics that are highly important at education policy level and were also covered for the first time by or contained in a modified version in the main European survey (as a result of the refined CVTS3 concept).
