More and more German firms are engaging in activity abroad and cooperating with international companies. Foreign practical placements as part of VET, which are most effective when they take place during training itself, are a particularly suitable way of training skilled workers for this purpose and of imparting intercultural competencies. “Vocational education and training without borders” is a guidance network which particularly seeks to support small and medium-sized companies with the organisation and implementation of such practical placements.
