Summary/Abstract: The vocational training system in Germany consists of three tiers: dual apprenticeship training for adolescents, vocational schools and the transitional sector. The dual apprenticeship training is a highly regulated and well-regarded system whereby young people learn through a mix of on-the-job training and education in the classroom. The current situation of young people on the labour market in Germany is very good. The reasons for that are manifold but the most important factor appears to be the dual apprenticeship training for adolescents. Although during the COVID-19 pandemic the number of apprenticeships decreased, the dual vocational training has proven to be an effective system facilitating the entry of young people into the labour market.
