The Architecture of Innovative Apprenticeship
Benefiting from the support and involvement of two major international research networks, this collection features the latest research findings in TVET. Members of INAP, the International Network on Innovative Apprenticeship, and VETNET, the Vocational Education and Training Network, have contributed key research findings to this detailed survey of the field. Featuring the inclusion of the internationally recognized memorandum released in April 2012 by the INAP Architecture Apprenticeship Commission, the volume covers a wealth of issues relating to technical and vocational education and training, including exemplar architectures such as successful school-to-work transitions, competence assessment and development models, and governance, including the role of stakeholders. The book provides many opportunities to explore in depth the scholarly debate on TVET, as well as to learn from positive international experiences. It aims to inform the practice of TVET professionals as much as the decision making of administrators.

Personalstrategische Maßnahmen von deutschen Unternehmen in China
Das duale Ausbildungssystem stellt hinsichtlich der Rekrutierung, Qualifizierung und Bindung von Fachkräften eine der wichtigsten Säulen für deutsche mittelständische Unternehmen dar. Verlagern diese Unternehmen ihren Produktionssitz ins Ausland, treffen sie dort häufig auf unbekannte Berufsbildungsangebote. Dieses Buch zeigt aus Perspektive beispielhafter KMUs, wie es durch personalstrategische Maßnahmen gelingen kann, den Zugang zu qualifiziertem Fachpersonal im Gastland China zu sichern. Aufgrund der konkreten Deskription der personalstrategischen Maßnahmen dient dieses Buch auch als Handlungsempfehlung für Unternehmen, die planen, eine chinesische Niederlassung aufzubauen oder ihre eigenen Maßnahmen zu modifizieren. Da das Erkenntnisinteresse in der empirisch fundierten Deskription und Theoriedifferenzierung liegt, werden die Ergebnisse weiterhin mittels Einbezug der kultur-historischen Tätigkeitstheorie nach Engeström analysiert und theoriebasiert diskutiert.
