Cooperation between vocational education and training and working life

Vocational education and training is based on varied cooperation with working life. As a student, you will evolve into a professional through workplace education and training. Close cooperation with working life develops the quality of your vocational education and training and ensures that work and capable workers find each other now and in the future.

Cooperation with working life takes on many forms from a student’s perspective:

  • you can safely see for yourself what working life is like during your studies
  • you can evolve as a professional by trying out what you have learned in practice
  • you can complete qualification units, fully or partly, in working life
  • you can build on top of what you have already learned by learning from professionals what real and inspiring everyday working life is like
  • the training also helps you approach your work like an entrepreneur.
