Meta-project on vocational training export is on the home straight: Practice-oriented guidelines on vocational training export developed for companies
Guidelines for Job Training Exporters
For two years, the Fraunhofer Center Leipzig and experts from diverse fields have been supporting the main phase of the meta-project on the key funding area “Vocational training export by German educational service providers” of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The central goal of the meta-project was to generate scientifically substantiated insights into the export of vocational educational services. These were to be processed with a practical focus and communicated to export-oriented vocational training service providers in Germany.
To this end, the team of researchers at the Fraunhofer Center Leipzig adopted a meta-perspective of collaborative projects and key players in vocational training from November 2012 to October 2014. Through topic-related focus group meetings, academic symposia and three conferences, they were able to network and share their experiences. On the basis of the findings gained and interviews held during the course of the project, the Fraunhofer Center Leipzig has developed practice-oriented guidelines for the most significant key areas of vocational training export. These are available to download in German.
The research findings are additionally being passed on in the form of a final report and with recommendations to the BMBF. The meta-project and the guidelines are already now providing the blueprint for further activities on this important cross-disciplinary topic.
New study “Impact of selected structural factors on the forest-based sector in the European Union”
Together with the Albert-Ludwig University of Freiburg, the Fraunhofer Center Leipzig has compiled a study on the topic of the “Impact of selected structural factors on the forest-based sector in the European Union”. The study was compiled within the context of the European cooperation project INTEGRAL with the aim of investigating the complex impacts that economic, technological, demographic and political changes in the last few decades in Europe have had on European forestry. The findings of the study serve as an aid, among other things, to compiling future scenarios for the development of the forest management in 20 forested areas in Europe.
