Vocational training curricula are intended to function as a link between work positions (occupational skills-qualification requirements) and the qualification-skills structures provided by those institutions or authorities offering vocational training. All vocational training curricula should offer sufficient direction to apprentices to enable them to:

- comply with the demands of specific work positions,
- adapt future skills-qualifications requirements (implying a permanent disposition to take part in vocational training),
- help develop a humanitarian and efficient work position structure.
