During her two-day study visit to the BIBB on 3 and 4 January 2019, the Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Security of the Republic of Paraguay, Carla Bacigalupo Planás, gathered information about the dual system of vocational education and training in Germany.
Over two days, the BIBB led their cooperation partners from Paraguay and Colombia on a tour through Berlin to various stakeholders involved in dual vocational education and training. This study visit enabled the BIBB to support both countries in the introduction of country-specific dual training.
In Paraguay, around 50 trainees will receive training in accordance with dual standards in the areas of electrical engineering and metal working starting in April 2018. Since 2016, BIBB supports Paraguay with developing and implementing the Paraguayan model of dual education and training "MoPaDual".
There is great political support in Paraguay for the introduction of dual education and training based on the German model (MoPaDual). This is furthering the creation of the general institutional framework. BIBB and Paraguayan VET stakeholders have successfully developed foundations for MoPaDual.
Paraguay has become BIBB’s fifth South American partner country. A project to implement “MoPaDual”, a Paraguayan model of dual training, was officially launched on 8 December 2016 to coincide with the signing of the cooperation agreement. BIBB will provide consultancy services for two years.
