Vocational training is one important interface between companies and their employees. It combines the training of functional qualifica- tions like technical skills, and extra-functional ones like atti...tudes towards the individual himself, his work and company.

One can speak of a 'comprehensive socialization' of the employees to further their high levels of commitment and productivity. Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the vocational training for workers at large Japanese and German automobile makers, we see the chance of a mutual approach of both systems. This mutual approach could com- bine the advantages of the Japanese training strategy like high labor efficiency with the advantages of the German strategy like pro- fessionalization, to cope with the problems both countries are facing at the present at the shop floor level, namely the growing demand of specialization in Japan, and more flexibility of professions in Germany.続きを見る
