Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Brigitte Zypries said, "Dual training is a successful model and a real export hit. It also offers a very good future and a real alternative to higher education. Careers in the dual system of vocational education and training result in an early entry to the world of work, good earnings potential, and exciting practical opportunities. In order to ensure that training regulations continue to keep pace with the times, we have undertaken numerous updates and adaptations. We continuously work with trade and industry to fire young people's enthusiasm for dual training. The main way of achieving this is by offering good training conditions."
