Abstract

The Working Process-oriented Continuing Training project of the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering has developed and evaluated a new form of continuing vocational training. This project was conducted in cooperation with leading IT enterprises and well-known education institutes. In contrast to other initiatives for structuring the continuing IT-training system, the methodological-didactical transformation of the concept was codeveloped during the institute's reorganisation. In the following article, the formal background, as well as the didactical and technological concept, are illustrated. If the concept is put into action as expected it will constitute a decisive turuing point in the vocational training system in Germany and will thus be an example for a European initiative. © 2005 by International Federation for Infonnation Processing.
