Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper compares within-country programmes of initial vocational education and training (IVET) in Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany and their outcomes. Specifically, it aims to analyse and compare the labour market success of graduates of different tracks at the ISCED 3 level in both early and later stages of their careers. The comparison is based on the analysis of PIAAC 2013 OECD study data. A composite multidimensional indicator was constructed to measure labour market success and subsequently used as a dependent variable in regression models. The results indicate that in the systems with dual IVET at the ISCED 3 level (Germany and Austria), graduates are indeed more successful at the labour market than their counterparts with other ISCED 3 tracks. However, their advantage diminishes in later stages of the career. Additionally, in Austria, the success of dual education young graduates is mediated by individual characteristics. In the system with only school-based IVET (the Czech Republic), this track does not guarantee substantively higher labour market success for young graduates compared to other ISCED 3 tracks and also to those with lower education. Czech apprentices in the later stages of career succeed even less than those with below ISCED 3 education.

初级职业教育和培训毕业生的劳动力市场成功:中欧三种教育制度的比较研究

本文比较了奥地利、捷克共和国和德国的国内初级职业教育和培训(IVET)计划及其成果。具体来说，它的目的是分析和比较不同方向的毕业生在职业生涯的早期和后期在劳动力市场上的成功。比较基于PIAAC 2013 OECD研究数据的分析。构建了一个复合多维指标来衡量劳动力市场的成功，并随后在回归模型中用作因变量。研究结果表明，在国际经济与发展综合教育三级双轨制国家(德国和奥地利)，毕业生确实比其他国际经济与发展综合教育三级课程的毕业生在劳动力市场上更成功。然而，他们的优势在职业生涯的后期逐渐减弱。此外，在奥地利，双轨制教育的年轻毕业生的成功是由个人特点介导的。在只有以学校为基础的IVET(捷克共和国)的系统中，与其他ISCED 3课程和受教育程度较低的课程相比，这一课程并不能保证年轻毕业生在劳动力市场上取得更大的成功。捷克的学徒在职业生涯的后期阶段甚至比那些低于ISCED 3教育的人更不成功。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Education and Training is a peer-reviewed international journal which welcomes submissions involving a critical discussion of policy and practice, as well as contributions to conceptual and theoretical developments in the field. It includes articles based on empirical research and analysis (quantitative, qualitative and mixed method) and welcomes papers from a wide range of disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspectives. The journal embraces the broad range of settings and ways in which vocational and professional learning takes place and, hence, is not restricted by institutional boundaries or structures in relation to national systems of education and training. It is interested in the study of curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, as well as economic, cultural and political aspects related to the role of vocational and professional education and training in society. When submitting papers for consideration, the journal encourages authors to consider and engage with debates concerning issues relevant to the focus of their work that have been previously published in the journal. The journal hosts a biennial international conference to provide a forum for researchers to debate and gain feedback on their work, and to encourage comparative analysis and international collaboration. From the first issue of Volume 48, 1996, the journal changed its title from The Vocational Aspect of Education to Journal of Vocational Education and Training.
