Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual
vocational training programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunity for on-the-job
training and work experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half
years and comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days
a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the
theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will
be spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice,
for example by learning to operate machinery.You will get to know what your company does,
learn how it operates and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your
training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the
time you have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical
knowledge, but you will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350
officially recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them
will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting one
of the jobs and vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at
different times in the year. Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual
vocational training programme are very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of
training is very popular with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school
go on to start a vocational training programme.
