Work-Based Learning: Germany's Combined Training System

One option for getting ready for your working life in Germany is to take part in a combined vocational training programme. These programmes give students the chance to acquire practical experience and learn on the job. In most cases, they run for between two and three and a half years and cover both classroom study and hands-on practice. Rather than following a standard academic path, this system brings together school-based instruction and direct workplace experience.

You will attend a vocational school for one or two days each week, or for a number of weeks in a row, where you will build up the subject knowledge needed for your chosen career. The remaining time is spent working at a business. During this time, you put what you have learned into practice — for instance, by getting used to working with equipment and tools. You also get a clear picture of what the business does, how it is run, and whether you could imagine staying on there once your training is finished.

[I] This mix of study and practical work gives you a strong advantage when you enter the job market: by the end of your training, you will have not only the technical skills required for the role, but also real experience of doing the job. [II] In Germany, there are close to 350 approved training programmes to choose from, which means there is a good chance that at least one will match your skills and areas of interest. [III] To help you find the right fit, you can attend one of the careers and training fairs held across various German cities throughout the year. [IV]

Job prospects for those who finish a combined vocational training programme are very strong. This is a key reason why the programme is so well liked among young people in Germany: roughly two out of every three school leavers go on to enrol in a vocational training programme.

According to the passage, what is NOT a benefit of the vocational training programme?

Gaining real experience of doing the job
Learning how a business is managed
Developing quality work relationships
Improving your chances of finding a job
