“…The German 'dual' training system enjoys an excellent international reputation (Clarke et al, 2021;Oeben & Klumpp, 2021). According to many experts, German skilled workers form the basis for technically sophisticated, high-quality production and Germany's success in exporting correspondingly high-priced goods (Pilz & Wiemann, 2021).…”

Context: Often, vocational education and training (VET) professionals are not systematically prepared for their demanding, mostly diverse and complex tasks. Professional development can be understood as an enlargement of competencies that arise as opportunities in daily work. This study, embedded in a funded research project, focuses on VET professionals and their professional development. The research question is as follows: What challenges and problems regarding their professional development, as well as possible solutions, are described by training professionals in VET in Germany? Approach: The goal of this study is to discover what challenges VET professionals face and how they cope with them. Accordingly, this research was formalised with the following components: (A) An explorative study with group discussions (N = 53 participants in six groups) and (B) result validation with German VET experts (N = 10). The data were recorded, transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Using a theory-based category system, the group discussion results were summarised in 12 systematic, organisational- and individual-level statements. The statements indicated that despite the necessity of formal professional development in the area of further training, most VET professionals must still be able to profit from offers at or below the German Qualification Framework (DQR) level 5. Many VET professionals ultimately sought visible recognition of their activities or personal commitment with regard to pedagogical and company-economic functions. The 10 VET experts also evaluated the 12 statements as important. Conclusion: The results of this study show that there is a huge need for qualification and learning opportunities for VET professionals. The demand is mostly for modern, tried-and-tested concepts and central themes, such as action and competency orientation, practice and transfer orientation, individual and structural reflection, media competency and learning support in all formats and at all levels.

“…Regarding the implementation of dual practices in Mexico, the interviewees also pointed out the importance of the motivation of the companies (Gonon, 2014; Martínez‐Izquierdo et al, 2020; Oeben & Klumpp, 2021; Wieland, 2015). In addition, information is important not only to improve the image but also to increase the motivation of companies.…”

“…| 647 different actors in Mexico from a German perspective and the factors that have a promoting or inhibiting effect on coordination (see Li & Pilz, 2021;Oeben & Klumpp, 2021), although there are relations between Germany and Mexico regarding the implementation of dual practices (BIBB, n.y., 2015). The focus is on the actors from German-speaking countries because German vocational training activities have a long tradition in Mexico, as many German companies such as Volkswagen, Siemens, or Bosch have been based there for several decades (Fuchs et al, 2021).…”

The transfer of the German dual vocational education and training to other countries is much discussed. The reduction of youth unemployment, in particular, is considered as a central motive. Similarly, some promoting factors and challenges that influence the transfer of vocational education are already known. The focus of this study is on the reform of the Mexican vocational education system and the facilitating and inhibiting factors faced by the different actors from German-speaking countries involved. The study is based on 22 expert interviews that were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The results show that there are factors that have both a positive and a negative impact on transfer in Mexico.

“…Actually, Germany has supplied more development assistance (ODA) funding for VET than the European Union or the World Bank. Emerging nations need VET programs to fulfill the need for well-trained workers (Oeben & Klumpp, 2021).…”

“…Internationally, Switzerland and Germany's dual vocational education and training systems are regarded as highly effective. In this approach, learners shall study in more than one location: in class and in industrial spots (Oeben & Klumpp, 2021). Hence, the procedure is established on the joint effort between the industry as local partners and the school.…”

The quality of Indonesian graduates from Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs is low and does not fulfil industry requirements and competencies. This is occurring since the talents or skills required by the sector differ from those accessible on the demand Hence, developing nations require practical VET systems and dual systems. Indonesia has recently attempted to examine the Dual Vocational Education and Training system in greater detail. This study investigates the challenges encountered by Indonesia throughout the implementation of its dual VET system and how they overcame them to ensure effective delivery. Notably, the primary goal of this literature study was to provide theoretically announced and policy-relevant understandings of the obstacles or challenges that every nation would encounter while establishing a dual system. This study combines empirical survey results from Germany and Switzerland to identify significant challenges and critical success criteria for the transfer. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) were used to guide the conduct of a systematic review. The results show that the direct transfer or implementing present multiple challenges and difficulties that comprise Challenges for The Public Sector and The Public-Private. On the other hand, for a successful transfer of VET tight cooperation between all stakeholders and a shared awareness and deeper knowledge of the contextual conditions in the target nation are paramount. Therefore, the question of whether the dual VET system in German or Switzerland can be directly implemented in another country, without first examining specific challenges and difficulties of each context, must be clearly and systematically considered.
