This report summarizes a study of the continuing training system for workers in Germany. It describes the instruments that have been developed in Germany for the organization and provision of continuing training, the groups of people concerned, and the costs involved. After defining continuing training and explaining its place within the overall system of vocational training in Chapter 1, the study considers four aspects in the following chapters. It begins by discussing the organization (the legal foundations and control mechanisms) of the employer-sponsored continuing training sector in Chapter 2. The main part of the study, summarized in Chapter 3, provides a quantitative overview of the whole continuing training sector and considers the availability and quality of data on this sector. The description of continuing training structures covers providers, objectives, contents, and participants. This is followed by a chapter on the cost and financing of continuing training. The final chapter considers a number of specific aspects and problems, such as the effects of demographic trends, problems relating to data collection, the integration of general and vocational continuing training, polarization tendencies throughout the system, and the measurement of efficiency in continuing training. The study includes 30 figures and 17 references. (KC)
There is growing interest worldwide in reforming national systems of financing technical and vocational education and training (TVET). Based on examples of countries and industries with innovative arrangements, this book covers many new practices, both successful and unsuccessful: public funding schemes, tax incentives and co-financing. It should be of particular interest to policy-makers wishing to make better decisions on funding TVET.
This study of vocational education in advanced industrial countries contributes to two different areas of debate. The first is the study of the diversity of institutional forms taken by modern capitalism. The second theme is that of vocational education and training in its own right.
This monograph examines vocational training (VT) in the Federal Republic of Germany. Section 1 presents background information/framework data on the following: Germany's political and administrative structures, population and demographic trends, economy and employment, and education system. In section 2, the historical development of VT in Germany is traced from the Middle Ages through German unification in 1990. Discussed in sections 3-7 are the following: initial VT (definition, Germany's dual system, VT in schools, special forms of initial training, and programs conducted by labor authorities); continuing VT (continuing VT's basic data and structures, target groups/participants, providers, personnel, and legal structural conditions); organization and responsibilities (organization and competence structure in the dual system, collaboration between employers and employees, and competent authorities of continuing VT); financing of VT in enterprises, schools, and external (non-plant) training centers, financing of the promotion of VT through the Federal Labor Office, and financing authorities dealing with VT; and developments and future prospects (problems/trends/developments in the new Lander, VT, and continuing VT and international dimensions in VT). Thirty-five tables/figures are included. Appended are the following: 32-item bibliography; bilingual list of selected institutions, legislation, and key terms; and lists of important addresses, key terms, and related publications (in languages other than German).
