The German vocational training system already offers companies and (aspiring) skilled and managerial staff various structured qualification and career paths – especially in times of changing competence requirements in the workplace.
Undoubtedly, a dual vocational training program not only enables the attainment of a state-recognized vocational qualification but also serves as an excellent starting point for entering qualified employment. However, alternative routes can also cater to the needs of different target groups.
Flexible educational opportunities based on life circumstances
Dropped out of university, work experience without a qualification, or a dated or formally unrecognized vocational qualification? Different life circumstances demand flexible educational opportunities – especially when a conventional training route is not an option.
