Kablitz, David; Conrad, Matthias; Schumann, Stephan – Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2023
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) based simulation and training is gaining increasing importance in vocational education and training (VET).

Fuchs, Martina; Westermeyer, Johannes; Finken, Lena; Pilz, Matthias – International Journal of Training and Development, 2021
While labour geography notes that subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNCs) exploit workers, studies in vocational education show that the international subsidiaries perform education and training. Often, the latter strand of literature relates to cases of MNCs from countries with 'dual' apprenticeships that combine comprehensive vocational…

Neuber-Pohl, Caroline – Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2021
German establishments heavily rely on the apprenticeship system for skill supply. With one in four apprenticeship contracts ending before successful completion, it is in the interest of establishments and policy-makers to determine factors, which reduce non-completion. This paper investigates the role of apprenticeship wages and income prospects…

European education and training policies have gained momentum with the debt crisis and soaring youth unemployment. In 2013, the 'European Alliance for Apprenticeships' was launched.

Schuss, Eric – Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2021
This paper provides evidence on the effect of apprenticeship costs on the decision whether care facilities employ apprenticeship graduates after completing apprenticeship training. To account for the endogeneity in apprenticeship costs, we exploit an exogenous reduction in the apprenticeship costs of care facilities by exploiting the fact that the…

Criteria lists of academic skills are widely used to assess the work readiness of people who are looking to enter or re-enter the apprenticeship market. These instruments represent a particular hurdle in the path to vocational training for low-skilled would-be trainees. We investigate the validity of one such list used in Germany. As different…
