Finding new ways to work: learning and risk in changing labour markets

This chapter, based on a study carried out in East Germany, examines relationships between policy-as-espoused, policy-as-enacted and policy-as-experienced in the labour markets of the 'new Lander'. Linked to earlier studies, it enables comparisons of vocational training and apprenticeships with West Germany and England. An insight into the transition to the new Lander is provided as seen through the eyes of key players, including young adults and vocational trainers, and attempts to show the strengths and limitations of the dual system of training and employment. The potential for the emergence of new models and the wider significance of these findings for Europe are also discussed.
