Induction of job entrants with midlevel qualifications: A comparison of health care (HC) and car service (CS) in selected European Countries and South Korea

Abstract

This article presents selected results of the study Induction of job entrants with midlevel qualification in selected European countries (INDUCT) that was carried out by the German Federal Institute for Vocational education and Training (BIBB) in co-operation with international partners. In addition to three European countries (DE, UK, ES), the study has been conducted in the Republic of Korea. INDUCT analyses the induction process of job entrants in different countries in the field of CS (car mechatronic/car mechanics) and in HC (nursing occupations). Both sectors show a great similarity in the tasks to be fulfilled in the work process across countries. By choosing countries with very different educational systems and labour market organisation, the influence of these factors on work organisation, recruitment and induction of new employees with focus on job entrants can be analysed.
