Vocational Colleges
The BBS (Berufsbildende Schule, or Vocational College) Brinkstrasse in Osnabrück educates around 4600 students from the surrounding region who attend the Vocational College or the Vocational Secondary School. The college is a certified ‘European School’ (Europaschule) which is proud to have 12 partner schools in over 13 different locations in and outside of Europe.
In preparation for an apprenticeship, students can attend the Vocational Training College, which offers courses at level 2 and 3.
Any young person learning a craft or trade usually does so under the dual system of vocational education and training. This means that students gain hands-on experience by completing an apprenticeship at a company and attending the part-time vocational college. The employer provides the apprentice with practical training. Internships offered include: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information technology, mechatronics, automotive technology, supply engineering or natural science.
Some students attend the Technical College in order to prepare themselves for University by gaining their A Levels (equivalent to level 4).
The BBS Brinkstrasse is a diverse and vibrant school that is proud to offer students the essential skills they need for their future careers!
