The basis of a good vocational education model is to motivate both the company and the trainee for quality student work and advancement.

The new Vocational Training Act, adopted in 2019, places the cooperation of vocational training institutions with companies on a new basis. The dual vocational education system, developed on the Western model, ensures the occupation and professional development of students in a sustainable way within the framework of employment., The management of 4S-2000 learned about the possibilities of the new dual education in the form of an online consultation. Attila Soltész, the manager of the company, sees the common motivation of students and companies as ensured in the basic pillars of the model.

According to the law, the name of vocational high schools (formerly called vocational secondary schools) is changed to technical school, and that of vocational secondary schools (formerly called vocational training schools) is changed to vocational school.

In the technical schools, the training will last for five years; the students will receive a graduation and a qualification at the technical level. An important change, however, is that at the end of the fourth year a student can graduate in only four subjects; the fifth subject is an advanced-level professional graduation to be completed at the end of the fifth year. This is also a technical degree, which means plus points for university admission. At the end of the fourth year, the student cannot leave with a graduation diploma and cannot be admitted to a higher education institution, but after the fifth year, the student can enter a specialized higher education institution almost automatically. At the end of the second year (grade 10), students take a basic sector examination, after which they can work in a dual employment relationship with companies for which they can receive at least 60% and a maximum of 100% of the minimum wage. The company receives a tax credit in return for the internship provided to students, which covers the student’s salary and incurred expenses.

Vocational schools last for three years, and the student completes his or her studies by obtaining a vocational qualification. Students take the basic sector examination here at the end of the first year (grade 9) and can bind a dual employment contract with companies from grade 10. Here, too, wages are at least 60% and a maximum of 100% of the minimum wage; financing follows the same path.

With high wages in dual education, the state is trying to motivate young people towards vocational education, which is expected to make more people choose vocational schools. It is also expected that more students in the system will want to work in a dual employment relationship with a company than will be possible. The reason of it, on the one hand, that not all companies are motivated in education, either due to the nature of the profession or the nature of the specific company. On the other hand, the number of students, who can be employed by companies motivated in the education, has also been maximized – e.g., in a company with 100 employees, a maximum of 20 people is possible. Companies, that want to employ students in this form, will probably be able to choose among good students, since the interest from students will be greater than the number of opportunities. This creates a competitive situation and thus the opportunity for quality dual work. The student takes the exam at an independent examination centre, and the company - in addition to its basic supply interest -  will be interested in providing quality, career-enhancing work to students, because it will only receive a non-negligible bonus for the company if the student achieves good results.
