What Is an Ausbildung Program?

The word “Ausbildung” simply means vocational training in German. It is a dual education system which is regulated by the government. It is based on the combination of training and education. The students get trained in a particular company while studying in a vocational school (Berufsschule) during certain periods of time.

So, this program implies both working and learning. You are not spending all the day in the classroom.  You are working, learning real skills, earning a monthly stipend, and earning a recognized qualification, all at the same time. The Ausbildung system has been running successfully in Germany for decades. It is the backbone of the German economy and is highly respected by employers not just in Germany but across Europe and globally.
