Introducing GOVET – the German Office for International Cooperation in Vocational Education and Training

Govet_germany_vocational_trainingGermany has a well-founded dual VET system, based on the collective efforts of state, trade and industry and social partners. The mutually beneficial system – which has evolved over a long time – is now often seen as a model across nations and across actors from government, industry, social partners and VET providers. While devising policies for skilling and Vocational Education and Training (VET) or making amendments to existing schemes or programs, many countries and VET actors look upon Germany as a source of inspiration.

To meet the requirements of increased demand for guidance on specific questions regarding dual VET, the German government has mandated GOVET – the German Office for International Cooperation in Vocational Education and Training to serve as the official gateway to the German dual VET system and its actors.

GOVET was established in 2013 as part of the strategy of the Federal Government to further strengthen Germany’s international cooperation in Vocational Education and Training (VET). The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has the technical and legal supervision. GOVET can be contacted for any question around the German dual VET system and German international cooperation in VET through the website. Many questions are answered in the online products (presentations, films, official documents) which are available online.
