The responsibility for the implementation and funding of the in-company part of vocational training in the dual system of vocational education and training (VET) in Germany lies with enterprises in trade and industry and administration. The increasing importance of public funding of in-company training as a reaction to the continuing problems in the training market can be observed in Germany. This development is more closely examined in this paper. An overview of the quantitative importance of public funding is given and the structuring of individual funding instruments is examined by way of example. An examination is made of the particular problem areas in vocational training to which public funding reacts with particular funds and what consequences result for the system of vocational training in general in the context of the general developments of pluralisation and deregulation.
