Three Hamburg institutions with a special profile in vocational training join forces in TVET Hamburg, with the purpose of making the Hamburg experience in the organization and implementation of dual vocational training available to international players: the Hamburg Institute for Vocational Education (HIBB), the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce (HK) and GFA Consulting Group GmbH (GFA). The uniqueness of our consortium lies in the combination of the specific expertise of the partners involved, who have been active for decades in various areas of vocational education and training at regional, national and international level.
The Hamburg Institute for Vocational Education and Training (HIBB) oversees the 30 state-run vocational schools with more than 46,000 students. With approximately 2,600 employees, it is Hamburg's largest state-owned company. Within the system of dual vocational training, the vocational schools are responsible for the transmission of theoretical knowledge and occupational competences and consider themselves as service-providers for vocational training activities in the companies. With modern teaching and learning methods, they make an important contribution to the preparation of apprentices for their subsequent professional activity.
