formed in the 1870’s in recourse to medieval guild
training system with its three step curriculum
(apprentice, journeyman, master)

In 1969, the modern dual system started with the
act on vocational training (BBiG), harmonizing the
various different training and school systems in
Germany

Why we do it – Our benefits
“A survey of 610 CEOs by Harvard Business School estimates
that newly hired employees require 6.2 months to reach their
break-even point.”
• Our experience indicates that newly hired employees start with an average
productivity of 25%, reaching 100% by the end of the first year
• A graduate from a dual study usually spends his last year in his future
departement, so he usually starts at nearly 100% productivity

Why we do it – Why we have to do it!
The education market will become an
applicant market
The number of school graduates will go down
until 2020 and competition for best fit
applicants will increase.
A growing number of companies is offering
dual study courses to train future managers
Companies will have to
grow their own „big fish“

Why we have to do it – Tackling youth unemployment
• In Europe, youth unemployment has reached record levels –
at the same time, companies cannot find enough young
Problem candidates with the required qualifications
• Dual study programs combines classroom theory with
practical application experience in the workplace providing
Approach young people with acceptable and marketable certificates.
• In fighting youth unemployment, more of the same won’t do!
Any line of education – including university curricula – can be
made more dual and, hence, more applied, and thus more
Prospect effective.
