Institute
In order to work in this field, an interdisciplinary research approach is required,
which is why vocational scientists, engineers, vocational educators, ergonomists,
educationalists, sociologists, cultural scientists and psychologists cooperate
with each other at the ITB.
Vocational education and training research
can no longer be thought of only nationally. The ITB recognized this challenge several
years ago and accepted it in many ways. In the majority of its research and development
projects, the ITB cooperates with relevant institutions in Europe, the USA, China,
Japan, Malaysia and other Asian, African and South American countries. Distinguished
fields of work include projects in the context of European integration processes on
the one hand and in the context of development cooperation in Asia and South America
on the other.
