Dual training worldwide
For half a year now 26 young men in Nové Mesto, a northern distract of Bratislava, Slovakia, have stood at the workbench for several days a week, and on the other days gone to school. They are completing their education as industrial and construction mechanics. The special feature: when they have finished this course of studies, they will receive a double qualification: a school leaving certificate and a vocational qualification. “This pilot project is intended to set an example and show other companies that it is worth investing in dual education”, said Georg Schütte, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), at the launch of the educational programme.
