3 About BIBB The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) is a centre of excellence for research related to the progressive development of vocational education and training (VET) in Germany. BIBB identifies future challenges in VET, stimulates innovation in national and international VET systems, and develops practice-oriented solutions for both initial and continuing vocational education and training. Maintaining a highly qualified skilled workforce is a constant challenge for companies in a climate of rapid technological, economic and social change. In Germany, the dual system of initial VET (company and part-time vocational school) provides an effective response to this challenge. A dual system qualification also provides the foundation for continuing and advanced VET in the context of lifelong learning. Both initial and continuing vocational education and training are investments in the future. The BIBB was set up in 1970 on the basis of the Vocational Training Act (Berufsbildungsgesetz, BBiG) as a federal government institution for VET policy, research and practice in the field of vocational education and training. Its current legal basis is the Vocational Training Act of March 23, 2005 which sets out the Institute s tasks. The BIBB is directly accountable to, and funded by, the Federal Government under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Since 1999 its headquarters have been in Bonn. 3

4 Organisational framework BIBB is organised into four departments with 16 sections and a Central Services department. Currently the Institute employs some 600 members of staff. Overall authority for BIBB rests with the Board and the President. The President is the Institute s director and its public representative. The Board provides a crosssection of expertise on all issues relevant to vocational education and training (VET) in Germany, and acts as the statutory advisory body for the Federal Government. Delegates representing employers and employees, the Federal States (Länder) and the Federal Government work together on the Board, each group (or bench ) with equal voting rights. One representative each from the Federal Employment Agency, the German local authorities associations and the BIBB Research Council may also assist in the Board s decision-making in an advisory capacity. The Board s tasks include adopting the annual research programme and the Institute s budget, making recommendations on the promotion and development of VET, and commenting on the draft of the Federal Government s Annual Report on Vocational Education and Training (Section 92 BBiG). The Research Council, composed of external (national and international) VET researchers, advises the BIBB by means of opinions and recommendations concerning the research programme, the Institute s cooperation with higher education institutions and other research institutions, and the annual reports on the results of research by the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (Section 94 BBiG). 4

5 DUAL SYSTEM Initial vocational training shared between company and school Federal government Länder and local governments Training company Workplace-based acquisition of skills and applied knowledge Vocational school Teaching of occupation-specific and general subjects Tasks BIBB s staff members analyse structural developments in the training-place market and in continuing education and training, observe and study initial and continuing training practice in companies, test new methods in the field of initial and continuing vocational education and training, carry out early identification of future skills requirements, develop and update initial and continuing training occupations, support in-company vocational training practice with modern training materials, develop concepts for the training of in-company trainers, support modern vocational education and training centres which supplement initial and continuing VET provided in companies, assess the quality of VET distance learning programmes, manage and supervise national and international programmes designed to continuously develop vocational education and training, conduct international comparative research on vocational education and training. 5

6 VET research at BIBB The objectives and framework for the Institute s research are set out in the Vocational Training Act (BBiG). According to Section 84 of the Act, the aim of vocational training research at the BIBB is to clarify the fundamentals of vocational training, track domestic, European and international developments in vocational training, develop standards for the subject matter and objectives of vocational training, pave the way for further developments in the field of vocational training to meet changing economic, societal and technical requirements, further the development of instruments and procedures for the provision of vocational training and promote the transfer of knowledge and technology. The statutory framework is therefore very broad in scope. Activities are planned more specifically in a medium-term and an annual research programme. Research currently focuses on five priority areas: Training market and employment system, Modernisation and quality assurance in vocational education and training, Lifelong learning, permeability and equivalence of educational pathways, Vocational education and training for specific target groups, Internationalisation of vocational education and training. 6

7 Target groups The Institute s research and findings are intended primarily for the following target groups: VET planning Federal government and Länder ministries and other authorities, bodies and committees involved in VET planning, Employers and employees organisations, Chambers (of industry and commerce, crafts, agriculture etc), Trade associations. VET practice Competent bodies for initial and continuing vocational education and training and their vocational training committees, staff responsible for initial and continuing vocational education and training in companies, training and continuing education establishments and vocational schools, Members of examination boards, human resources managers, works councils and staff councils in companies, training and continuing education establishments and administrations. VET research community Researchers at universities and universities of applied sciences (particularly in the disciplines of vocational and industry education, sociology and economics, as well as in labour market research) Researchers in non-university research institutes. 7

8 Knowledge management for VET BIBB makes its research and the results of its work available to the VET community continuously and comprehensively. Furthermore, the Institute supports the transparent sharing of VET expertise with a powerful knowledge management system. A selection of BIBB s specialist portals Internet The BIBB website the largest for VET in Germany gives convenient access to over 140,000 internet pages and documents and more than 40 specialist portals hosted by BIBB.
