“…To date, there is no comprehensive theory on vocational training markets (Wolter and Ryan 2011). Existent approaches have either focused on the question why firms invest in training or why some school leavers do not succeed in entering training.…”

“…Since the dual system of vocational training in Germany is market-oriented, it is more vulnerable to fluctuations in supply and demand than school-based education (Wolter and Ryan 2011). The supply of apprentices is closely tied to demographic developments.…”

“…Nevertheless, there are differences: first, vocational training is not used in all economic sectors and occupational fields. Second, it is highly regulated in terms of contents, duration and certificates (Wolter and Ryan 2011). For the nearly 330 different occupations currently offered in the dual system, there are detailed nation-wide curricula and their length is fixed.…”

The German educational system is characterized by a large sector of dual vocational training, which facilitates integration into the labour market. This system creates a specific training market for school leavers, which is characterized by strong regional disparities. These differences as well as their consequences have not been systematically analysed in previous research. In a theory-guided analysis this paper examines empirically which structural 'handicaps' affect regional transition rates from school to training and how regional training markets may be classified according to these structural factors. To this end, a new method is applied which combines regression and cluster analysis to avoid arbitrariness in the selection of classification variables. It generates a well-interpretable classification of vocational education markets, which is of broad use in research and labour market policy. The method may be applied to solve a broad variety of similar research problems in regional science.

“…The aim of our paper is to contribute to this literature and to address important shortcomings of extant studies that Wolter and Ryan (2011) point to: first, it is important to define clear reference groups and counterfactuals when evaluating the returns to AVET. Therefore, we focus on graduates from secondary schools who are not eligible for tertiary education.…”

We study the returns to apprenticeship and vocational training for three early labor market outcomes all measured at age 25 for East and West German youths: non-employment (i.e., unemployment or out of the labor force), permanent fulltime employment, and wages. We find strong positive effects of apprenticeship and vocational training. There are no significant differences for different types of vocational training, minor differences between East and West Germany and males and females, and no significant changes in the returns over time. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor mayInstrumental variable estimations confirm the regression results. The positive returns hold up even in poor labor market situations.JEL-Code: J400, J240, I290.

-In this paper, the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) in EduNet PC Worx IEC 61131-based PLC (programmable logic control) training program is described and discussed. By using PBL, the students are expected to understand the concept and have ability to accomplish projects in a good level of training objectives. The observation results show that the trainee can demonstrate the academic knowledge and have ability to solve the problem in borderline level. Meanwhile, the ability to organize a work schedule, to complete work on time and correctly, to work under pressure, to utilize equipment and training module correctly, and to handle equipment safely sometimes do not meet expectations. However in the softskill aspects such as attendance, attitude to job and supervision, and ability to work in a team frequently meet satisfactory level. Paper will be sum up with some recommendations for solving the obtained shortcomings.
