Routes into occupations

Coverbild: BWP 2/2019

The labour market in Germany is organised on the basis of the principle of the regulated occupation, and great significance is still accorded to vocational qualifications. But how successful are young people in entering working life after completing initial training? And –including in comparison to an academic qualification – what prospects do initial and advanced vocational education and training offer for future working life? This issue of BWP presents research results, company concepts and information on education and training provision.
