Vocational training in the framework of the ‘Austrian Training Guarantee’

The Impact of Sustainable Education Practices on Food Consumption Behaviours – An Experimental Study of Agrarian School's Students in Hungary

Three countries are used as reference countries in our study: Denmark, Austria and Germany (Hoidn, Vít, 2021;Schlögl et al, 2020;Atzmüller, Knecht, 2017;Durazzi, Geyer, 2019;Di Maioet al, 2019;Lassnigg, 2017;Schmid, 2020). These countries have exemplary agricultural vocational training models, and we wanted to review their good practices because their examples are an excellent representation of agricultural practices and complex farming activities that are based on tradition, but at the same time up-to-date, sustainable and innovative knowledge content.…”

“…(Hoidn, Vít, 2021;Bauer, Gessler, 2017;Becker et al, 2020;Hautz, Thoma, 2021;Hautz, 2020;Schlögl et al, 2020). Based on the specificities of the Austrian education system, Vocational upper secondary education in agriculture can be implemented in the following types of institutions in the country (Atzmüller, Knecht, 2017;Durazzi, Geyer, 2019;Lassnigg, 2017, Schmid, 2020.…”

Supra-company apprenticeship training in Austria: a synopsis of empirical findings on a possibly early phase of a new pillar within VET
