Perspective
Skilled professional work in many occupations requires both demanding practical skills and intensive “knowledge work”: The service sector and manufacturing include not only hands-on tasks but also complex planning and management responsibilities, for which academic study provides appropriate preparation. On the other hand, business professionals and managers often need in-depth knowledge of practical skilled work.
It is generally expected that digitalization will further increase the interconnection of practical and cognitive requirements. Hence, the close integration of vocational and academic education enables the development of new skill sets, leading to better opportunities in the job market.
