German-Greek feasibility studies presented in Athens
One of the greatest strengths of the German system of dual vocational education and training lies in its elements of practically oriented company-based learning. For this reason, the improvement of company training structures is being accorded a particular level of significance in VET cooperation between Germany and Greece. Five current studies have been dedicated to looking at opportunities to introduce company-based training structures in Greece and offer specific possible solutions for the implementation of this approach. The results of the studies were presented in Athens on 7 July 2014.

German Office for International Vocational Education and Training Cooperation stages a German-Greek workshop
German and Greek education and training experts have engaged in extensive discussions on the opportunities to implement company-based forms of learning in Greece with the framework of a workshop staged by the German Office for International Vocational Education and Training Cooperation (GOVET). This event was occasioned by the project launch of five feasibility studies currently being financed by GOVET. The aims of the studies are to deliver findings with regard to the practicability of company-based learning and to establish a network between Germans and Greeks that will enable the initiation of joint training cooperation projects. Participants generated important impetuses for the structuring of the feasibility studies and for the implementation of German-Greek VET cooperation.
