Abstract
The publication of "Vocational Education and Training – An Overview" was preceded by a lengthy period of development which began at the Federal Institute for Vocational Training with Hermann Schmidt's "Qualifying the Workforce – Education and Training for an Age of Uncertainty" in 1994. For many years there has been a high demand for publications in English about the German system of vocational and further training, and particularly for a short, schematic representation which can serve as a template, which in turn can be used in English language presentations. Now the members of the board of the Federal Institute for Vocational Training have also requested an outline of this type, not least in order to be able to manage their frequent presentations in English for foreign listeners better.
This publication is therefore aimed at anyone involved in vocational and further training who needs to present and explain the German system of vocational training at home and abroad. Often, however, the requisite up-to-date English language skills are unfortunately lacking. The following representation, which can easily be converted into slides, is intended to serve as a thematic, linguistic and descriptive framework in such cases.
