German VENet-Model / Brief Description

QUINTA Modular Network for Vocational Training

At the heart of the german QUINTA Modular Network for Vocational Education is a regional network of four non-governmental, non-profit educational institutions. These Institutions are in charge of most of the VENet-management-tasks and are involved in the theoretical and practical vocational training of the participants. The major task of the educational-institution-network as a whole is to impart social-skills (coping) to the participants and to guide them through the vocational program. One of the educational institutions is in charge for the overall-management of the entire regional VENet-project (Berufsbildungszentrum Hellweg e.V., Soest).

The practical vocational education mostly lies in the hands of regional businesses. They are being supported by the aforementioned educational institutions, who have adequate workshops and instructors at their disposal. Educational institutions are also responsible for most of the supporting activities (psychosocial support, human resource management). The complete Modular Network of Vocational Training is being supported by relevant actors from the fields of regional educational- and labour-market-politics.
