Nigsch, Josef; Gunz, Dieter; Jenny, Christoph; Jehle, Karl
This booklet provides an overview of vocational education (VE) in the principality of Liechtenstein. The following are among the topics discussed: Liechtenstein's government, sovereignty, history, and foreign policy; Liechtenstein's VE system (history, underlying principles, policy, structure, economic framework, legal basis, organization and governing bodies); acquisition of vocational qualifications (career guidance, dual/trial system of initial vocational training, apprenticeships, special types of VE, postsecondary vocational schools and technical colleges, professional qualification in the tertiary sector, education at universities and other academic institutions); continuing education opportunities in Liechtenstein and abroad; costs and financing (investments in VE, state expenditures on VE, VE's contributions to the economy); VE from various perspectives (views from the business sector, views from various sectors of industry); access to the European scene (VE and the European Union, areas of cooperation between the European Union and Liechtenstein); and challenges for the future (decreasing numbers of apprenticeships since 1986, females choosing traditional roles, overqualification, integration of less-gifted individuals, initial vocational teaching and block teaching, learning in practice, modular educational programs, international cooperation).
