Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 27 to 31

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training
program. Such programs offer plenty of opportunity for on-the-job training and work experience. Programs
usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as practical elements.
You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will
acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be
spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by
learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it operates and
find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you have
completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also have
hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognized training programs in Germany,
so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that
might be by visiting one of the jobs and vocational training fairs which are organized in many German cities
at different times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training program are very
good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two
thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training program.
