Upper secondary school
Enough money
Expertise
Students and the public are interested
Resistance: not part of the curriculum, no time, students need good results to enter university
• Many offers

• State (further ed.)
• Political parties

Vocational college
Just opposition and resistance, too The companies prefer
employees and not entrepreneurs
No additional competitors School is serving the
company´s interests
• Some offers
• Chamber of Commerce
• Administration

Teachers working at both schools in the same building transfering knowledge
Students with practical skills and experiences
