Thuringian schools set new quality standards for training!

Gotha, Deutschland - In Thuringia, the certification of all 37 state vocational schools by Certqua GmbH causes excitement. These schools now meet the strict requirements of the accreditation and approval regulation employment promotion (AZAV), which offers an essential basis for the quality of the training. This certification, which is considered to be significant progress, enables schools to take up retraining students with educational vouchers from the employment agency in the coming year. Minister Christian Tischner praised the high quality of educational work in schools and emphasized the positive development in the competitiveness of the Thuringia educational location. This is also secured by the regular audits that check and further develop compliance with the quality standards.

internship conditions and insurance coverage

In addition, the conditions for student operating internships are of great importance. These internships are basically among the school events, with lessons being relocated to the company. In the meantime, pupils are not considered an employee within the meaning of the Occupational Safety Act, but insurance coverage in statutory accident insurance, such as the Agency for Labor Thuringia-Nord . It is important that the requirements of the Youth Labor Protection Act are observed during the internship. This includes, among other things, that pupils may only be employed with personal protective equipment if this is necessary due to the accident prevention regulations. Therefore, schools and internship companies should clarify early on which safety precautions are required.

The progressive development of vocational schools and the clear rules for internships are steps that are intended to improve future training in Thuringia. These measures promote not only the quality of teaching, but also the safety of the students during their practical experience in companies.
