Notes:
¹⁾ Due to the new statistics concept in 2007, the results before and after the adjustment are comparable to a limited extent only. So this table shows no differentiation by educational background for the years prior to 2007. As of 2021, the definition of newly concluded training contracts applies which was used until 2006.
²⁾ As of 2007, differences in sums are possible due to the rounding procedure to ensure privacy in vocational education statistics. For further information see source.
