“…These key competencies encompass interdisciplinary skills across multiple domains. For example, Ulrich et al (2020) showed that social, methodical, and personal competences are capable of explaining 10% of variance in trainees' drop-out tendency. Especially social competences, such as the ability to cooperate, social responsibility, and conflict ability, exerted significant effects but also reflexivity and work techniques (methodical competence) as well as trainees' sense of duty (personal competence) showed an influence on the dropout tendency (ibid.…”

High drop-out rates from Vocational Education and Training (VET) remain a severe problem in VET systems globally. Despite decades of drop-out research revealing numerous influencing factors, the role of trainees’ vocational competence in their drop-out behavior has been neglected. This study aims to define the structure of vocational competence and analyze its effects on drop-out intention. Using longitudinal data from 458 commercial trainees in Germany, vocational competence is measured at three time points using a validated competence test, subdivided into domain-linked and domain-specific dimensions (Gelman and Greeno, 1989). Four different directions of drop-out intentions are considered, enabling a detailed effect inspection of the prevailing research gap. Additionally, factors identified in previous studies, such as educational level, age, language, and the degree of having chosen one’s desired occupation, are controlled for. We conducted 12 rounds of ordinal logistic regression to test three lagged temporal combinations of the effect relationship between vocational competence and dropout intention over different time spans (T0- > T1, T1- > T2, T0- > T2). We find that lower domain-specific competence increases the intention to drop out from VET without qualification over different time spans. Initial lower domain-specific competence also affects trainees’ intention to change their occupation in the final year of training. Furthermore, higher levels of domain-linked competence at the beginning increase the intention to leave VET to pursue higher qualifications in the midterm of training.

Transferable competences in vocational education and training are becoming increasingly important due to the highly dynamic labor market. They contribute to enabling apprentices to adapt quickly to new requirements. While previous studies have taken a deficit approach and examined reasons for dropouts, this study focuses on determinants of successful completion of apprenticeship. Using a German sample based on the self-assessment of 16,839 apprentices in vocational training programs from 2011 to 2018, this study examines the effect of transferable competences on subjective apprenticeship success with a particular focus on methodological competence. Besides the assessment of social competence, methodological competence also proves to be a relevant determinant for apprenticeship. Gender differences can be observed in this context. Recommendations for supporting transferable competences during vocational training are provided. Furthermore, innovative learning cultures in companies for the adaptation of training to the changed demands on the competences of apprentices will be addressed.
