This article examines the prevalence of systematic competence management in German companies and investigates whether it influences the participation of low-skilled employees in non-formal continuing vocational education and training (CVET). Analyses of the BIBB Training Panel show that highly systematised forms of competence management are established in around a quarter of large companies and that these contribute to an increase in employees’ participation in CVET, whereby highly systematised competence management has a more positive effect for high-skilled employees.
