The VET Data Report Germany reports systematically on the current situation and the newest developments in vocational education and training in Germany. It is based on empirical data and social research analyses and forms the data basis for the Report on Vocational Education and Training published by the Federal Ministry of Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth – BMBFSFJ (previously published by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research – BMBF). The English version of the VET Data Report Germany is generally published every two years, starting with issue 2010.

The individual chapters present central indicators relating to initial and continuing vocational education and training in the dual system and illustrate developments that have taken place over time. Each year, a different focus topic is addressed.
