The Training Contract – Rights and Duties
The Training Contract – Rights and Duties
The Training Contract – Rights and Duties is a ready-to-use comparative business & law teaching resource for Grades 9–12 & Adult Ed. It uses the German and European framework as a detailed international case study, ideal for comparative, international-business and global-citizenship courses in Business, Finance & Career Readiness (CTE). When young people sign a vocational training contract, a new stage of life begins: a pupil becomes a trainee (apprentice) with clearly defined rights and duties. This series explains step by step what a training contract contains, which rules the Vocational Training Act (Berufsbildungsgesetz, BBiG) lays down, and how the company and the trainee work together in daily practice.
Guiding question: Which rights and duties does the training contract govern – and how do I apply them in everyday life?
