Award of Excellence 2014: Dual Vocational Training System

In Germany, there is the concept of the “dual vocational training system“. That means that young people get vocational training in two different locations: in trade school and at a company. The goal of this dual vocational training system is to provide young people with excellent qualification and training, which they can immediately apply in the real world. This way, they are well equipped for the job market and trained for a promising career.
