Dual learning, an educational approach that combines theoretical learning at school with practical experience in a work environment, offers a range of benefits that go beyond traditional teaching methods. This innovative learning model is not only beneficial for students, but also for employers and the wider society.

An important advantage of dual learning is the seamless transition from theory to practice.

This practical experience not only increases understanding of the course material, but also enables students to develop relevant skills that are directly applicable to the labor market.

In addition, dual learning promotes the development of job-oriented skills and competencies.

These skills are essential for a successful career and help shape well-rounded individuals.
