This diploma thesis deals with employees training and development, their context and trends. It shows why it is important to be concerned with training and development, and mainly through the knowledge of human capital and competitiveness.

In next chapter function of training in organization, purposes to employ it, approaches, and strategies are mentioned. Systematic approach to training and its stages are characterized. Next chapter describes some of the training and development methods, their effectivity and internal and external trainings' pros and cons. Some trends are described throughout all the chapters and summarized and completed in the last but one chapter. The last chapter deals with the research based on a questionnaire filled out by training and development specialists from Czech Republic. The survey concernes four areas: training system, financial questions, training and development methods, internal and external education. In the last part the findings are evaluated and recommendations are proposed.

This descriptive study presents strategies and recommendations that, if adopted and implemented effectively, can lead to a significant increase in the acknowledgment of the importance of vocational education in Massachusetts' Black communities, as well as lead to an increase in the number of minority youth expressing interest in vocational technical education. This will lead to prospects for change. A closer look will be taken at the quality of education being offered in various vocational technical schools and programs especially by minority parents, educators, and civic leaders. The pressure for quality in vocational education will be very great in Massachusetts' Black communities; this means that educators, civic leaders, and parents will begin to ask more and harder questions regarding decisionmaking, allocation and use of resources, and the quality and profile of the teaching profession in vocational technical education in Massachusetts. An important expectation to be noted here, based on what some union officials have stated about vocational education and Blacks, is that the union community wants to cooperate with minority leaders and parents who are seeking to make vocational education work for their youth. This study began with the theme that vocational technical education can be a creative and exciting "public policy glue" tying together demography, the economic needs of Massachusetts, and the educational needs of Black communities. It raised the awareness of the importance of vocational education in minority communities through various forums and meetings; it brought together a network of individuals and organizations which could be the basis of renewed interest and attention to the role that vocational education can play in the economic development of minority communities, and in the improvement of the quality and relevance of education in these communities. Finally, the study resulted in several concrete strategies and recommendations which, if implemented effectively, could lay the foundation necessary to guarantee a significant presence of Blacks in the world of vocational education in Massachusetts.

Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zum Transformationsprozess von der schulischen beruflichen Bildung der DDR hin zu den Oberstufenzentren im Land Brandenburg in den 1990er Jahren. Es wird die Triade der Faktoren Institutionentransfer, Personen- und Knowhow-Transfer und Finanztransfer analysiert. Die vollständige Umstrukturierung ist das berufsschulpädagogisch herausragende Ergebnis der Transformation. Es wird herausgearbeitet welche Folgerungen aus dem Transformationsprozess für berufsschulpolitische Reformprozesse zu ziehen sind. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob die Übernahme des bundesrepublikanischen beruflichen Schulsystems zwangsläufig der Nutzung einer Blaupause gleichkam oder ob es auch abweichende Wege gegeben hat bzw. generell hätte geben können. Der Transformationsprozess wird nicht auf der Ebene der Einzelschulen, der curricularen und konkreten Ausgestaltung der verschiedenen Bildungsgänge und des Lehrkräfteeinsatzes untersucht, sondern auf der Ebene der Entwicklung der Rahmenbedingungen und der Strukturen der Oberstufenzentren, also auf der Metaebene der Policy als inhaltlicher Dimension von Politik. Damit liegt der Fokus auf dem System „Oberstufenzentrum“. Die Untersuchung dieses Systems klammert die Untersuchung der Handelnden aus: Die untere Schulaufsicht, die OSZ-Leitungen, die Lehrkräfte und nicht zuletzt die Schülerinnen und Schüler. Die Analyse dient dem Verständnis und der Interpretation dessen, was sich sowohl durch die bundesstaatlichen Vorgaben – Einigungsvertrag u.a. – als auch durch das berufsbildungs- und berufsschulpolitische Handeln beteiligter Akteure herausbilden konnte. Die inhaltliche Dimension des berufsbildungs- und berufsschulpolitischen Feldes innerhalb des politisch-administrativen Systems im engeren Sinn wird überwiegend bezogen auf die KMK untersucht; ebenso die externen Akteure und ihre Rolle. Es wird herausgearbeitet welche Folgerungen aus dem Transformationsprozess für berufsbildungs- und berufsschulpolitische Reformprozesse gezogen werden können. Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind ausgewählte Beiträge zu verschiedenen Aspekten der Entwicklung der Oberstufenzentren im Land Brandenburg. Gegenstand sind deshalb ausgewählte Rechtsgrundlagen, Fachaufsätze etc. sowie durch Arbeitspapiere dokumentierte Aspekte der berufsschul- und berufsbildungspolitischen Diskussion in der Wendezeit und nachfolgenden nach der Gründung des Landes Brandenburg. Anhand von Vergleichen der rechtlichen Ausgangslagen in den fünf ostdeutschen Ländern wird analysiert, ob es verfassungs- respektive schulrechtliche Besonderheiten gab, die zu unterschiedlichem ministeriellen Handeln führten bzw. führen mussten. Die wiedergegebenen Beiträge zur Entwicklung der Oberstufenzentren werden bezüglich der Relevanz von KMK-Beschlüssen bzw. -Rahmenvereinbarungen untersucht und kommentiert. Der Institutionentransfer besteht aus dem Beitritt der ostdeutschen Länder zur Geschäftsordnung der KMK, der daraus resultierenden Übernahme der Schulformen und Bildungsgänge einschließlich der rechtlichen Folgen durch Schaffung des Schulrechts in den Ländern. Der Personen- und Knowhow-Transfer fand auf der Ebene der entsandten Verwaltungsmitarbeiterinnen und -mitarbeiter der Kultusministerien und der Mittelbehörden statt. Für den Transformationsprozess während des hier interessierenden Untersuchungszeitraums werden Berufsschul- und berufsbildungspolitische Aspekte, bzw. im umfassenderen Sinne die der Berufsbildungswissenschaft erstmalig mit der vorliegenden Untersuchung reflektiert. Insofern kann diese als Beitrag zur historisch-berufsbildungswissenschaftlichen Forschung betrachtet werden. / This study is a contribution to the transformation process of the vocational education system in the GDR toward the Oberstufenzentren in the state of Brandenburg in the 1990s. A triad of factors will be analysed: transfer of institutions, of personnel and knowhow and of finance. The complete restructuring is the characteristic result of this transformation process in the sector of vocational education. It will be worked out, which consequences should be drawn from the transformation process for reformation processes of the vocational education system. Thereby the question as to whether the adoption of the West German system of vocational training schools was comparable to the use of a blueprint or whether divergent paths would have been possible, is to be discussed. The transformation process will not be analysed on the level of the single vocational education schools, the curriculum, the different school levels and the use of teaching personnel but on the level of the development of general conditions and structures of "Oberstufenzentren”, on the meta level of policy as a dimension of politics as regards content. Therefore the focus is on the system of (the so-callled) ”Oberstufenzentren". The exploration of these systems excludes the exploration of the acting persons: supervision of schools, school management, teachers and students. This analysis serves for a deeper understanding and interpretation of national standards – for instance the Unification Treaty – and also for an understanding of the action frame of reference of vocational education politics and vocational training school politics by the involved participants. The dimension of contents in the vocational education and vocational training school field inside the political-administrative systems will be analysed by the KMK – The Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany; likewise the external actors and their role. The consequences of the transformation process for vocational education politics and vocational training school politics will be worked out. Selected works of different aspects of the development of ”Oberstufenzentren” in the land Brandenburg are the subject matter of the survey. This includes the analyses of selected legal basis, scientific papers etc., in combination with documents of vocational education discussion and vocational training school discussion in the political turning point following the formation of the federal state of Brandenburg. On the basis of the different legal initial positions in the five East German Länder it will be analyzed, whether there were constitutional or rather school law characteristics which led to /had to lead to different ministerial actions The reproduced articles on the development of ”Oberstufenzentren" will be analysed and commented with respect to the relevanz of KMK-decisions /. KMK-master agreements. The transfer of institutions is the accession of the East German federal states to the internal regulations of the KMK, the resulti is the takeover of school forms including the legal consequences by creating the school law in these states. The transfer of personnel and knowhow took place on the level of delegated members of school ministries of the Western federal states. For the transformation process in the surveyed time aspects of vocational education and vocational training or rather – on a more comprehensive level, the science of vocational training are going to be reflected for the first time, Therefore, this can be seen as a contribution to the historical-vocational training research.
