Further professional education based on working processes

There is currently an acute shortage of qualified personnel in the information and telecommunications sector. In order to solve this problem over the medium-term, the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (Ger: BMBF) has ordered the set-up of a Regulation Procedure of the German Federal Institute for Vocational Training (Ger:BiBB) for (re)structuring the further education system in the ICT. Parallel to the Regulation Procedure and as part of the "New Media in Education" program, the BMBF, in collaboration with industrial partners and educational institutes., is promoting a project being carried out by the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft under the overall control of the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering (ISST). The goal of the "Workflow-Embedded Training" (APO) project is to develop and elaborate an innovative system for further IT training.
