China’s Minister of Education Tours Vocational Training Program at Volkswagen


  • Board Member for Human Resources, Dr. Neumann: “Specialist knowledge and skills are basic prerequisites for economic success”

  • Talks on cooperation in vocational training




The Chinese Minister of Education, Prof. Guiren Yuan, visited the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg on Thursday to find out more about dual vocational training at the company. The Minister was welcomed by Dr. Horst Neumann, the Board Member for Human Resources at Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. Neumann discussed cooperation in the field of vocational training with the Minister and accompanied him on a tour of the plant. The Board Member for Human Resources explained the principle behind dual vocational training as well as qualification and knowledge transfer in the Volkswagen ‘Berufsfamilien’ (vocational groups). The program also included a chat with vocational trainees.


Dr. Neumann presented the vocational training system at Volkswagen to the Chinese Minister of Education and said: “Specialist knowledge and skills are a basic prerequisite for a strong and efficient team, for outstanding quality, for top products and for our economic success. That is why Volkswagen attaches the greatest importance to first-class dual vocational training which closely links theory and practice. We also apply this principle to in-service qualification measures in our Berufsfamilien.”


Most of Volkswagen’s approximately 20,000 vocational trainees worldwide are already learning their professions on the basis of the dual vocational training principle. Given the international differences in school systems, Volkswagen cooperates with governments and educational institutions in the regions where plants are located in order to implement the dual principle. In China, Shanghai Volkswagen applies this principle to train mechatronics technicians and automotive mechatronics technicians, while FAW-Volkswagen trains production mechanics, motor vehicle body and vehicle construction mechanics, automotive mechatronics technicians, mechatronics technicians and tools mechanics under the dual vocational training system.


During the visit, Volkswagen vocational trainees talked to the Minister about their training. They presented the Golf GTI Wolfsburg Edition to demonstrate their skills to their guest in a practical context. Twelve vocational trainees from four trades created this unique model in line with their own ideas, showcasing it at the Wörthersee GTI Meeting in May 2014.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
