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’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
