The federal states are launching new training models for nursery school teachers in order to counter the shortage of skilled staff in early years education. A practically integrated training programme, in which participants receive remuneration throughout, was created in Baden-Württemberg in 2012 to supplement school-based training. The article presents the results of a study which were acquired on the basis of new data from an online survey of persons completing training at five colleges of social education. The object of the investigation is whether additional target groups for early education have been reached and whether these remain in the occupational field.
