Company vocational school
The company vocational schools (abbreviation: BBS ) were educational institutions in the GDR for the practical and theoretical teaching of apprentices . They were attached to the factories.
In the Soviet occupation zone , as early as 1946, in addition to the communal vocational schools in which classes were held, vocational schools were set up in large companies. They were subordinate to the director of operations or, in the case of state institutions, their manager. In 1950 there were already around 700 company vocational schools.
The company vocational school included classrooms for theoretical lessons, and a training workshop for practical vocational training was usually also subordinate to it. Apprentice dormitories were also often attached.
