Hello, Phil
I am replying to your "help wanted" question from Germany.
Our vocational system is the backbone of our industry and there is
a Federal Institute dedicated to it. Their homepage is
www.bibb.de
and I found information in English at
http://www.bibb.de/info96uk.htm.
If you need more, I can contact them in German (unless you speak
German as well ...).
Hope this helps!
