{Replik} How a shortage of skilled workers and a high level of education fit together: Graduates with knowledge gaps?

On the one hand, complain Companys loud about a shortage of skilled workers, on the other hand, the universities are bursting at the seams in view of high student numbers. Skills shortage and educational high - how does that fit together?

Everything was better before?

Anyone who studies knows that Problem: ProfessorThose who have barely time for office hours, faculty members who give the impression that they are still able to read the introduction and conclusion during the elaborations and, of course, auditoriums that are bursting at the seams.

That was not the same before, you might think. And yet I believe that the situation today is fundamentally different from the time.

Fewer school leavers, more students

The reasons are supposedly on the Hand: Double Abitur classes due to the shortened time in high school and the abolition of compulsory military service and community service. Both reasons undoubtedly have a significant share in the increasing number of students. However, they cannot fully explain why the number of first-year students has risen steadily since 2001.

The fact that Germany is experiencing a regular education despite the decline in the number of pupils in the context of demographic change is ultimately due to political initiatives within the framework of the Bologna Process.

High level of education thanks to the Bologna Process, but 90 percent of companies report recruiting problems

The introduction of the bachelor's degree as a time-compact university degree creates an early one career entry. Background: The labor market is supplied with qualified personnel, thus stopping the increasing shortage of skilled workers. According to experts, the graduation rate of 35 percent specified by the Science Council must be achieved.

A survey by the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers under Human Resources actually shows that the skills shortage is already a serious problem. 90 percent report recruitment problems and expect in the future with a further aggravation of the situation.

Poor quality in teaching

This assessment is supported by a large number of studies, according to which millions of well-trained specialists will be lacking in the future. The political efforts are already bearing their first fruits - at least on paper: the rate of graduates with a first university degree has increased since the introduction of the tiered study structure.

However, the so-called “academization” of other sections of the population has nothing to counter the shortage of skilled workers, provided the quality of the teaching is not right.

Number of permanent teaching staff drops

Some critic blame the falling number of permanent teaching staff, despite the massive increase in student numbers, which was partly augmented by cheaper freelance workers.

The number of part-time employees at public universities has been increasing for years.

Employers make it too easy

Is about Education and quality of education, employers, on the other hand, often make things too easy for themselves with their constant call for the state. First and foremost, they should exploit the untapped potential of those willing to undergo further training in their own company and future specialist and Executives available from the pool Employees recruit.

A continuing vocational training program can help to remedy this situation and help to bind employees to the company in the long term. So far, however, companies do not make the most of the possibility of in-house qualification: in 60 percent of companies, there are less than five further training days per year, and in every seventh operation, it is a maximum of two days.

Master also possible without academic training

The state has already created the necessary prerequisites for this. Since the 2009 Conference on Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs, those with a non-academic background, for example, have a master's degree.

As a consequence, this means that those from practice are now also opting for higher ones Tasks to qualify who have so far often been denied career advancement.
