Notes

Abstract

Vocational Education is often not considered when it comes to open source as it neither happens in Schools or in Universities. Yet today over 300,000 IT specialists alone have completed their vocational education in Germany. In this talk, we will explore the reasons for integrating open source into vocational programs and delve into the specific content of vocational education for IT specialists and the options to add education about open source in the curriculum. I will also share practical examples of our own efforts to incorporate open source learning, providing insights into what works – and what doesn't!
