In view of the anticipated shortage of skilled workers and the current high proportion of refugees under 25, the question arises of whether and how young refugees can be integrated in the dual education and training system. Policy-makers have responded and are making efforts to improve the legal framework conditions. This includes, above all, the gradual adaptation of existing funding instruments to the particular practical requirements of refugees. The article presents the new regulations concluded for this purpose and the requirements for access to company-based education and training.
