Germany benefits from its apprentices – NBC News Article

What does vocational training mean for apprentices and companies in Germany? A article of NBC News shows that Germany, in light of the Eurozone crisis, benefits from its dual vocational training system. This is evidenced in low youth unemployment rates (Germany: 8% compared to Greece and Spain: over 50%).

The article summarizes the advantages of the German vocational training system for both apprentices and companies. It states, for example, that apprentices earn a salary already as trainees and that almost two thirds of all apprentices receive full-time employment at the company where they train.
