职业培训和技能在发达经济体中发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而，各国的职业教育结构以及教育培训的理念和文化都存在差异。但显而易见的是，雇主在所有情况下都发挥着至关重要的作用。本文探讨了不同国家的企业愿意投资初级职业教育的原因以及如何投资。本文将重点关注英国和德国，分别作为市场主导模式和国家主导模式的例子。对两国雇主的采访表明，在英国，初始职业教育在大多数情况下与任务密切相关，或者被视为雇员私人的、个人的关注。相比之下，在德国，提供范围更广的初级职业教育，并被视为公司文化的一个组成部分。
Vocational training and skills are playing an increasingly important role in the developed economies. However, both the vocational education structure and the underlying philosophy and culture of education and training vary from country to country. What is clear, though, is that employers play a crucial role in all cases; this paper explores the reasons why companies in different countries are willing to invest in initial vocational education and how they do so. The paper will focus on Great Britain and Germany as examples of a market-led model and a state-directed model, respectively. Interviews with employers in both countries show that, in Britain, initial vocational education is strongly task-related in most cases or else is seen as the employee’s private, individual concern. In Germany, by contrast, a much broader range of initial vocational education is available and is viewed as an integral part of company culture.
