Benefits – Importance of dual vocational

training:

The work experience is invaluable and you usually learn more during internships than during college. In addition, you get a wage and sometimes other benefits and help from the firm. You have the same number of holidays like regular employees (24-30 days per year) which you can only take during internships. Another advantage is that usually a lot of the teachers are people who are working in the field, meaning they bring in actual work experience and teach you up to date stuff. Vocational Education helps people do their work better because they receive a great learning opportunity. Workers get a chance to refine their talents while earning money.

Certain professional skills gained from vocational training teach students the importance of manual work. The physical work done under some jobs makes them strong, healthy and involved. Through bridging demand and the supply gap with highly qualified employees, vocational education is transforming the economy. This also offers students the ability to take marketable knowledge directly into the work environment from the classroom. School dropouts and adults (Aged between 18-30) may also obtain this kind of education, as it provides an opportunity to learn skills and trade. There are many well-paid career fields that do not require a college degree. The importance of Vocational Education is the provision of satisfying work for those who have no desire to obtain college degrees, but who are fully capable. They simply take advantage of Vocational Education to prepare for a career of satisfying and useful work.

The student is an employee of the company from the beginning and receives tasks that are according to his growing abilities. If a company is willing to make an employment-contract with the student after his dual education time, the company gets an employee who knows the company’s workflow. The student can also benefit from the knowledge about born hard and soft skills of more experienced co-workers. The student develops under real conditions. Furthermore, the student earns money from the beginning.Given that students in dual education systems receive high quality vocational training and education, they are well prepared to enter the job market at a young age, and the firms that participate in their training are more willing to hire them when they graduate.
