This is especially true for adolescent immigrants who have not yet been able to finish education or gain qualifications relevant to joining the labour market. That is why many receiving countries have developed and implemented special programmes that aim at supporting immigrants' integration by facilitating their employability. Unfortunately, not much is known about the process of implementing these programmes or about how education systems, schools, and teachers are dealing with the new situation and target group. In this contribution, the implementation, development, and challenges of German Vocational Integration Classes (VIC), as an example of comparable programmes in the EU, are investigated to address this research gap. The paper considers the following exploratory research questions: (a) What challenges have been experienced by teachers and social workers in the implementation of VIC as well as in the integration of immigrants into the labour market in recent years? (b) How can these challenges be met in the long run and how should VIC be developed to better achieve its aims? \r\n\r\nMethods: To answer these questions, a sequential qualitative study containing questionnaire and interview elements was conducted. First, teachers and social workers involved in VIC filled in a questionnaire about their experiences and experienced challenges in implementing VIC (N = 46). Then, supplementing interviews were conducted with participants from the first sample in order to generate further insights and to contextualise the findings from the first study part (N = 14). \r\n\r\nFindings: From the respondents' answers, it appears that the VIC programme is well implemented. The results show, however, that central challenges continue to exist. This concerns, for example, legal regulations or the development of adequate curricula, but also the scope and quality of language education. In addition, problems have also been identified with regard to students' culture-specific education and their individual attitudes. These prevailing problems seem to affect schooling and educational processes. In addition, respondents report feeling left alone to deal with problems and that their experiences from their daily work in VIC and with immigrants are not sufficiently taken into account in policy and school-related decisions. \r\n\r\nConclusions: Although VIC seems well implemented, key challenges remain in the view of the participants. It was found that teachers cannot solve many of the identified problems themselves, as they require action at the level of policy or school organisation. For staff, this can be accompanied by increased stress and demotivation. For the young immigrants, the existing challenges can have a long-term impact on school success and transition to vocational education and training. The study thus highlights the importance of targeted and holistic strategies to support immigrant integration through education.

Massive economic as well as social distress caused worldwide devastation. In Germany, not only stores, factories, cultural facilities were closed, but also – for the first time in history – schools were closed nationwide. Closed working sites and vocational schools, as well as working sites, which remained open due to their systemic relevance, led to so far unknown challenges in Germany’s vocational education system. A very good example are the dual apprenticeships, such as trained retail salesman, which were only partially affected by closures. The main goal of education policy was to compensate personal communication and interaction via digital media. This article’s main aim is to reveal the strategies vocational schools have developed to overcome the challenges they had to face because of the pandemic.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","date_updated":"2025-05-16T10:32:07Z","date_created":"2022-12-21T11:45:14Z","author":[{"id":"33108","full_name":"Sommer, Christian","last_name":"Sommer","first_name":"Christian"},{"last_name":"Szczesny","id":"44658","full_name":"Szczesny, Daniela","first_name":"Daniela"}],"title":"Organisation der dualen Berufsausbildung zum/zur Verkäufer:in und Kaufmann:frau im Einzelhandel im Zeichen der COVID-19-Pandemie.","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/57970"}],"doi":"10.3278/9783763972579","publication_status":"published","quality_controlled":"1","year":"2022","citation":{"ama":"Sommer C, Szczesny D.

It also investigates what knowledge farmers require on digitalised farms and how they acquire it. Dairy farming was used as domain of investigation since it, unlike other industries, has strongly been affected by digitalisation throughout the last years.\r\n\r\nMethod: Exploratory interviews with 10 livestock farmers working on digitalised dairy farms were analysed using qualitative content analysis. A deductive and inductive coding strategy was used. \r\n\r\nFindings: Farming work has changed from more manual tasks towards symbol manipulation and data processing. Farmers must be able to use computers and other digital devices to retrieve and analyse sensor data that allow them to monitor and control the processes on their farm. For this new kind of work, farmers require elaborated mental models that link traditional farming knowledge with knowledge about digital systems, including a strong understanding of production processes underlying their farm. Learning is mostly based on instructions offered by manufacturers of the new technology as well as informal and non-formal learning modes. Even younger farmers report that digital technology was not sufficiently covered in their (vocational) degrees. In general, farmers emphasises the positive effects of digitalisation both on their working as well as private life. \r\n\r\nConclusions: Farmers should be aware of the opportunities as well as the potential drawbacks of the digitalisation of work processes in agriculture. Providers of agricultural education (like vocational schools or training institutes) need to incorporate the knowledge and skills required to work in digitalised environments (e.g., data literacy) in their syllabi. Further studies are required to assess how digitalisation changes farming practices and what knowledge as well as skills linked to these developments are required in the future."}],"status":"public","publication":"International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training","type":"journal_article","keyword":["Work-Based Learning","Organisational Change","Digital Competences","Qualitative Research","Digitalisation","Farming","Dairy","VET","Vocational Education and Training"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"35202","user_id":"86519","year":"2021","intvolume":"         8","page":"208–223","citation":{"chicago":"Goller, Michael, Carina Caruso, and Christian Harteis. “Digitalisation in Agriculture: Knowledge and Learning Requirements of German Dairy Farmers.” <i>International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training</i> 8, no. 2 (2021): 208–223. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.13152/IJRVET.8.2.4.\">https://doi.org/10.13152/IJRVET.8.2.4.</a>","ieee":"M.
