The rapid process of transformation of initial vocational education and training in the context of German reunification – starting with the adoption of the Vocational Training Act by the GDR on 1 September 1990 – not only had a direct impact on vocational education and training practice in the former East Germany but, in retrospect, resulted in far-reaching changes in the structure of occupations. How these developments look in connection with the tertiarisation of the dual system of vocational education and training and how the implications differ for men and women in East and West Germany is examined in this paper.
