The phenomenon of Industry 4.0 - that much discussed topic - brackets together technological developments in the production and logistics of the future. For vocational education and training the implications of this need to be assessed in terms of qualification requirements, competence development and qualification options; and new concepts need to be developed and implemented. This article clarifies what Industry 4.0 might mean for vocational education and training, what studies of qualification research might be able to achieve in this respect and, in light of this, which areas should be the focus of the continuing work in initial, advanced and continuing education and training.
Das öffentlich diskutierte Phänomen Industrie 4.0 fasst technologische Entwicklungen für Produktion und Logistik der Zukunft zusammen.
