 Cooperative Vocational Education and Training and the Role of Chambers Cooperative Vocational Education and Training also known as Dual System (DS) education,is regarded as the backbone of German Industry as it secures sufficient and highly qualified workforce to the economy. DS training combines traditional school teaching with hands-on experience at a private company partnered with the school. Private sector institutions and intermediaries play a major role in ensuringthe quality and sustainability of the DS. The Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Lebanon as well as the four Lebanese chambers of commerce are committed to enhancingvocational education and training in order to meet the needs and requirements of the economy and the labour market.
