Inter-company training Provision of information
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIn addition to the companies and vocational schools, there is another partner in the dual training system in the skilled trades: the inter-company vocational training centers (ÜBS). The courses held there supplement the in-company training with modern and practical content.
The ÜBS impart basic and specialist knowledge that cannot be covered or not fully covered in specialized or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). As a result, differences in the quality of training are avoided through a corresponding supplementary and compensatory function of inter-company training.
The obligation to participate in the inter-company training courses results from the corresponding training regulations or from resolutions passed by the responsible committees of the chambers of crafts and trades. The trainee is then obliged to participate and the trainer is obliged to release the trainee from training. In addition, there are voluntary offers for inter-company training.
