In a society that is characterised by rapid acceleration and technological change, debate about values is becoming increasingly important. What role do values-based and socially responsible behaviour play in business and the world of work? And how can values be integrated into VET?

In this edition, you can find numerous proposals for combining values orientation and the teaching of skills in VET. |

Editorial: Values-based action in a market-oriented environment Hubert Ertl, Prof. Dr., Director of Research and Vice President of BIBB Vocational education and training has always pursued the overarching objective of equipping individuals to operate successfully in the world of work. However, placing the focus solely on teaching abilities and skills that meet the technical and social requirements of employment roles would be an overly narrow approach. This edition of BWP therefore aims to broaden horizons and open up new ways of examining values in VET in this age of advancing globalisation and digitalisation in the workplace.

Marked contrasts in the prestige of dual vocational training occupations in Germany Christian Ebner, Daniela Rohrbach-Schmidt In Germany, the vocational education and training (VET) system and the labour market are organised by occupation; a person's occupation is a key factor in determining income and career prospects and structures the processes of job searching and recruitment.

Occupational prestige plays a role for young people when choosing an occupation and when it comes to filling apprenticeship places. This article presents the initial findings from a current BIBB study regarding the occupational prestige of the 25 largest occupations in the dual VET system.

Informing youngsters and employers about labour market prospects - Conception and use of the Dutch Labour Market Information System (AIS) Tim Peeters, Didier Fourage, Jessie Bakens Every two years the Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA) at Maastricht University produces medium-term labour market forecasts for 21 industry sectors and more than 100 occupational groups and education types. These forecasts, together with indicators for the current labour market situation, are gathered in an online database: the Labour Market Information System (AIS). In this article we describe our approach to labour market forecasting and present the content of the AIS. Although the project was initially started to help prospective students with their choice of study, the set of indicators has been broadened over time to include data and forecasts that are useful to employers, policy makers and labour market mediators. Because of space constraints, we focus on the relevance for prospective students and, to a lesser extent, employers. Read more Informing youngsters and employers about labour market prospects |
