This issue of BWP sheds light on the causes and consequences of gender-segregating tendencies in the education and training and employment systems and explains how these can be countered.
The articles included in this issue discuss the interplay between core competencies and occupation-specific professional knowledge and skills and illustrate how core competencies can be fostered in company-based initial and continuing training.
As of now, inter-company training centres and comparable organisations are able to submit new applications to the BIBB within the scope of the “Career Orientation for Refugees” Programme. BOF courses may be implemented until the end of 2021.
Even if an occupation reflects the activities in which they are interested, many young people will still tend to drop it during the career choice process if insufficient social recognition appears to be on offer. This is the main outcome to emerge from a study conducted by the BIBB.
In light of the rising numbers of higher education students, the BIBB has conducted a study into which pupils are more likely to commence a programme of vocational education and training despite being having a higher education entrance qualification.
How will vocational education and training fulfil the objective of offering initial VET for everyone? In the light of falling training figures, this issue investigates the question of which young people opt VET and what their motives are for doing so.
If the choice of occupation will not positively impact their status in their social environment, young people tend to stay away from the occupation concerned, even if they would have enjoyed the work it entails.
The "Klischeefrei" initiative campaigns for a world in which the choice of occupation and degree is free from gender-specific role models. Support from companies and institutions is rising. The BIBB is also supporting career orientation free of stereotyping with Girls' Day and Boys' Day on 26 April.
This article investigates the factors which influence their choice and how the educational preferences of pupils change over the course of Year 9. The basis for this investigation is provided by data from the NEPS, which was evaluated within the scope of a BIBB Project.
More female bakers and female painters and varnishers. In around 80 of 105 "male occupations" investigated by the BIBB, the proportion of female trainees has risen over the past years. A BIBB analysis conducted on the occasion of the 2016 "Girls' and Boys' Day" shows an unmistakable trend.
Young people are aware that occupations have an influence on future earnings potential and career prospects. With two related occupations to choose from, it is often these aspects which tip the balance. These are the results of a BIBB research project.
