Training and Apprenticeships

Companies in Germany are very much in need of staff, as can be seen from the number of unfilled positions. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the number of vacancies across the country stood at almost 1.73 million and 84 per cent of these were for an immediate start. This shows the urgency of firms’ recruitment efforts in many sectors.
Vocational training and apprenticeships have a key role to play in ensuring an adequate supply of skilled workers for the future. However, the trainee/apprenticeship market itself faces considerable challenges as a result of demographic change and the digital and environmental transformation of the economy.
How has the German trainee/apprenticeship market evolved? What impact do the processes of transformation have on training, apprenticeships and jobs? What role can careers information and advice play? Will the new training guarantee make a difference? We have compiled a list of IAB publications and projects for you that explore these and other questions regarding training and apprenticeships.
