The article draws on a study that was based on 43 interviews, a discussion group anddocument analysis. The results show that dual VET has been implemented through a school-basedmodel, as opposed to the firm-based ‘German’ model. Participants may be employed on the basisof training contracts or internships. Whichever approach was taken, we found that young peoplewho have completed dual VET enjoy a rapid school-to-work transition.
