Roughly 522,000 young men and women in Germany began a vocational training programme in 2015.

The chances of finding an attractive place have increased: according to the 2016 Vocational Training Report, there are roughly 104 apprenticeships for 100 school-leavers, more than there have been for 20 years. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has launched an information campaign called “Du + Deine Ausbildung = Praktisch unschlagbar!” to strengthen the vocational training system. It draws attention to the opportunities of vocational education.
