Observe international vocational training

One of the tasks of VET research is to evaluate and observe international developments in vocational education and training. BIBB also participates in international VET cooperation. These tasks are supported by monitoring vocational education and training systems and by conducting comparative research projects.

Important activities implemented by BIBB within this context:

  • Involvement in the European information network for vocational education and training (ReferNet)
  • Publication of the “International Handbook of Vocational Education and Training”
  • Implementation of the institute’s own comparative research and development projects within the scope of the Medium-Term Research and Development Programme and participation in projects
