The consequences of demographic change are being felt particularly in Germany’s eastern federal states, and are leading to a shift in the relation between supply and demand on the apprenticeship-place market. Small and medium-sized enterprises in particular are adapting their training strategies to market conditions. In a qualitative study by the Universities of Jena and Rostock, four in-company initial vocational training strategies could be identified and typical patterns of practice inferred, which are presented and reflected upon in the article.
