Closing Germany's Skills Gap With Professional Degrees: A Strategic Repositioning of Educational Research
Abstract
This chapter analyses the role of “Bachelor Professional” and “Master Professional” qualifications as strategic instruments for closing the skills gap in Germany. Based on current research findings, the historical and legal foundations of these qualifications are analysed in the context of section 53 BBiG. The chapter examines the categorisation of these qualifications in the German and European Qualifications Framework (DQR/EQF) and highlights their relevance for educational science. It also discusses the influence of digitalisation on learning methods and the acceptance of new qualifications. The effectiveness of hybrid learning models and their contribution to the successful labour market integration of graduates are presented using empirical data and case studies, particularly from GrandEdu practice. Finally, the chapter provides research-based recommendations for action for policy-makers, education providers and companies to promote the permeability and recognition of non-academic educational pathways.
