The frequent failure of measures to promote reading skills in vocational education and training is due to the fact that trainees do not attach much importance to reading in terms of their specific occupation. An empirical study conducted at the RWTH Aachen University into selected industrial and technical occupations shows that the business learning location and the stakeholders responsible here have a key role to play in this. The results deliver initial pointers for more effective promotion of reading competence and, in this context, the clear responsibility of stakeholders in company-based education and training.
