How will vocational education and training fulfil the objective of offering initial VET for everyone and of facilitating relevant career prospects? In the light of falling training figures, this issue investigates the question of which young people opt VET, what their motives are for doing so and how they find a route into training.

Editoral: What needs to be done first and foremost! Friedrich Hubert Esser, Prof. Dr., President of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training The training market figures for the end of 2018 were remarkable in that they contained numerous "peak values" compared to the period of the past ten years.

Upper secondary certificate, and then what? Annalisa Schnitzler In light of the rising numbers of students, this article investigates the question of which pupils are planning to commence a programme of VET despite being in possession of a higher education entrance qualification. Data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) is used to identify factors which encourage pupils in their twelfth school year to adopt such a plan. The findings show that influences from within the social environment, the vocational orientation process and evaluations of costs, benefits and opportunities undertaken by the young people are all of relevance. These results finally serve as a basis for the derivation of proposals for vocational orientation. |
