Abstract	Key competencies are not explicitly mentioned in training regulations or framework school curricula in Germany. But they influence education and training by the holistic understanding of how vocational action competence is acquired; an understanding which forms the basis of vocational education and training. Key competences are a central and integral element of VET and are acquired both in the school-based as well as in the company-based part of apprenticeship. The level of the individual competences also differs between sectors and occupations, and other influencing factors such as the size of the company, the position in the company and the company location. In addition to their acquisition in schools and companies, key competencies may also be obtained in the form of additional qualifications in courses offered by Chambers. Particularly worth mentioning with regard to this are foreign language and IT skills. The development of a person's competences - whether they are key competencies or other skills for a specific occupation - does not end with the successful completion of vocational education and training. It is rather a process of lifelong learning, which means the use of competences in everyday work up to continuing and further training courses, which facilitate a professional career. (Orig.).
