Publications

ibw draws up reports and analyses at the interfaces between education and training, skill needs of businesses and qualifications.

ibw’s research work covers a wide gamut of topics and ranges from analyses of dual VET, school-based and tertiary education and labour market analyses onto continuing vocational education and training (CVET).

In our research library you will find well-founded data, studies and background analyses conducted by ibw at the interface between education, business and qualification. Most of our ibw studies have a national and sometimes also regional focus. On account of the increasingly strong international perspective due to the EU’s education policy and OECD’s comparisons of systems, however, there is also growing international demand for ibw’s expertise. ibw has been a partner or coordinator of a large number of EU projects for many years. In addition, ibw is a cooperation partner of the EU’s Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop).

    Dual Vocational Education and Training in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland

    Comparative Expert Study

    ibw report, Wien, 2016
    Bliem W., Petanovitsch A., Schmid K.

    For several years, dual vocational education and training (dual VET) has attracted major international interest. Thanks to practice-oriented programmes which are relevant for the labour market, young people who have graduated from dual systems succeed particularly well in entering the world of work. Dual VET is therefore regarded as a major reason for the low youth unemployment rate in these countries.

    Where other countries want to benefit from the success factors of dual systems, it is important to obtain information about these systems and learn from them. This study aims to present the core elements of the dual systems of Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland, describe the things they have in common and their differences, and refer to important reference documents. This study aims to serve as a source of information and basis for discussions for institutions and people that plan and implement VET projects and programmes to find out which of these elements can be implemented in what form in other contexts.

    Duale Berufsbildung in Deutschland, Liechtenstein, Österreich und der Schweiz

    Vergleichender Expertenbericht

    ibw-Bericht, Wien, 2016
    Bliem W., Petanovitsch A., Schmid K.

    Seit einigen Jahren erfährt die duale Berufsbildung zudem ein großes internationales Interesse. Dank den praxisbezogenen und arbeitsmarktrelevanten Ausbildungen gelingt Jugendlichen aus dualen Systemen der Einstieg in die Arbeitswelt besonders gut. Duale Berufsbildung wird daher als wichtiger Grund für die geringe Jugendarbeitslosigkeit in diesen Ländern betrachtet.

    Wenn die Erfolgsfaktoren der dualen Systeme für andere Länder nutzbar gemacht werden sollen, ist es wichtig, diese Systeme zu kennen und von ihnen zu lernen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist es, die Kernelemente der dualen Systeme von Deutschland, Liechtenstein, Österreich und der Schweiz darzustellen, ihre Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede herauszuarbeiten und auf wichtige Referenzen zu verweisen. Die Studie soll Institutionen und Personen, die Berufsbildungsprojekte und -programme planen und umsetzen als Informationsquelle und Grundlage für die Diskussion, welche Elemente sich in welcher Form in anderen Kontexten umsetzen lassen dienen.
