If young students in Germany want to receive vocational education, they must first apply to an enterprise involved in vocational education and get a training post from the enterprise. If he finds a training position he likes, he will sign a training contract with the enterprise. After that, he will look for relevant vocational schools and their grades according to the training contract, because vocational schools are divided according to the professional groups to which the enterprise belongs.

Second, German vocational education has established a fairly perfect enterprise training system.

In terms of vocational education, Germany has not only established a fairly perfect school system, but also established a fairly good enterprise training system. Enterprise training system includes direct on-the-job training, "training workshop" training in manual labor department, "training workshop" training in machine production department and "training office" training in some affairs departments. Some small-scale enterprises set up a place for vocational training in the workshop or workshop because they have no conditions to set up a workshop for training, so this training place is also called "training corner".

Third, German vocational education attaches great importance to the legalization of vocational education, and the relevant laws and regulations of vocational education are relatively complete.

If a student wants to be a mechanical worker in the future, he must go through a career of three and a half years. Germany's vocational education law stipulates that when citizens are apprentices in enterprises, or enterprises recruit apprentices, employers and apprentices must sign training contracts, including the nature, time, objectives, remuneration and holidays of vocational training courses.

German middle school graduates, as apprentices, learn practical skills in enterprises and theoretical basis in vocational schools. The focus of training is actually in enterprises. It can be said that these main characteristics of the German vocational education model have improved the level of vocational and technical education in Germany.
