Project teaser:

The project generates empirical findings on occupation-specific characteristics of mobile training in three industries. In view of the unpredictability of future occupational qualification and competence requirements and the resulting consequences for vocational training, the project provides insight into organisational structures and the subjectively experienced reality of training.

Context:

Mobile vocational training involves working on company tasks independently of and across different learning locations in order to acquire professional skills. However, in the context of digital transformation, it is not yet clear exactly what challenges mobile working poses for initial vocational training and what consequences this has for trainees. Given these developments, the company as a traditional and previously dominant place of learning in person is losing importance, and mobile vocational training is placing new demands on the organisation of in-company training and requiring the establishment of new teaching and learning concepts. In addition, trainees are confronted with new professional orientation and learning tasks which, according to the project's initial thesis, have an influence on their professional socialisation, their self-image and the development of their professional identity (both individually and collectively).
