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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...
