The International Handbook of Vocational Education and Training (IHBB) has developed into a
practically related standard work for comparative VET research in the German-speaking
countries. The studies concentrate on national vocational education and training and
educational systems and provide an introductory insight into the general socio-economic
conditions and educational policy competences in the respective countries. The Handbook
presents the educational systems from a VET perspective and traces their structural and
historical lines of development.
