Azubis and the Skills Pipeline

Chapter 11 in Germany’s Economic Renaissance, 2014, pp 113-128 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract “Help wanted” signs are ubiquitous in the shop windows of the old town of Ingolstadt, a former garrison city for the Bavarian army—when Bavaria still had its own army—that is still largely surrounded by thick stone embattlements. A manufacturing city of 128,000 people on the banks of the Danube between Nuremburg and Munich, Ingolstadt provides an extreme example of the human dividend from Germany’s renaissance—the rebound in the German job market that has occurred since the overhaul of labor regulations in 2005. After all, perhaps the ultimate measure of a national economy is its ability to generate jobs. Ingolstadt is also a proving ground for the German system for integrating young people into the workforce.
