Occupational groups
The associated aim of bundling training occupations into so-called occupational groups is to structure training in a more transparent, more efficient and more flexible way. The educational policy and conceptual ideas connected with this process, the way in which occupational groups can be identified and implemented on an individual basis and the potential consequences for the organisation of training are all issues which are highlighted within the present edition.
In his Editorial, BIBB Director of Research Prof. Dr. Reinhold Weiß indicates the potential for conflict which may arise in terms of implementation from the specific vested interests of companies, associations and individual branches of trade and industry. He pleads for a research-based approach which will be able to assist in establishing occupational elements on objective foundations.
Further papers conatined within the present edition deal with the implications of reform to the Danish VET system, with approaches towards promoting the reading competence at vocational schools and, one year after entry into force, with the new training opportunities for vocational teaching staff.
