What do you call a work study in Germany


What do you call a work study in Germany?
I was wondering about technical or vocational schools in Germany. What are they called and is there a program where you can learn while working such as something in the IT field.

a regular training is called "Ausbildung" and consists of usually 3 years hands-on training while being employed as an apprentice in a company. Half of that time is approx. to be spent in a school focussing on relevant subjects. The name of that school is "Berufsschule". If you look for more sophisticated education there is a dual system for Studying while working for a company in parallel called: "Duale Ausbildung" or "Ausbildung im dualen System". It is mostly offered in combination with Colleges (Fachhochschule) in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg has a prime lead role here). Hope that helps
