Participants in the conference confirmed that there is a great need to make TVET more attractive and that one key to attractiveness lies in the provision of open onward pathways to higher education and lifelong learning.
The German Minister of Education and Research (BMBF), Johanna Wanka, emphasized in her opening address that SMEs will be needing 200,000 technically and managerially qualified young people to succeed retiring entrepreneurs and top executives. To meet this need, TVET will have to become more flexible and integrate higher education.
