Report on meeting 2/2014 of the Board of BIBB held on 26 June 2014 in Bonn

Undistracted by Germany’s World Cup excitement, the summer meeting of the Board of BIBB chaired by Elke Hannack, DGB, managed to concentrate on its tasks and attend to current issues in vocational education policy. These included the recommendations of the German Council of Science and Humanities on the relationship between vocational and academic education as well as the significant financial expansion of the Federal Government special programme on the “Promotion of Vocational Mobility of Young People Interested in Vocational Training and Unemployed Skilled Workers from Europe” (MobiPro-EU). Before that, however, the meeting opened with a report on the tasks and objectives of the German government for the current legislative period.
