AusbildungPlus
Expansion of the databank-based AusbildungPlus information system
The AusbildungPlus (TrainingPlus) project uses a free Internet database to provide information on training programmes which offer additional qualification and about dual courses of study (which combine university studies with vocational training) in Germany. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The centrepiece of the AusbildungPlus project is a database that contains information on more than 39,000 training programmes offered by enterprises where some 122,900 trainees / students can currently earn qualification. AusbildungPlus is one of the largest vocational training databases in Germany.
The AusbildungPlus project targets the following three objectives:
- Service function: Increase the transparency of additional qualifications and dual courses of study with the aim of helping balance the supply of and demand for high-quality training programmes on the training place market and helping ensure a supply of young skilled workers.
- Interface function: Within the framework of this project, inform users and the research community extensively about this subject.
- Research function: Analyze the contents of the databank to obtain insights into existing approaches to and financing for advanced training and to increase the permeability between and intermeshment of initial vocational training, continuing vocational training and university studies.
