title: [Ready for the year 2000. The Federation of German Vocational Rehabilitation Centers has revised the fundamental concepts].
abstract: The Federation of German Vocational Retraining Centres have recently completed a fundamental revision and update of their conceptual approach, adjusting it to the technological advances at hand as well as to a changing labour market. Novel educational concepts offer broader space for accommodating the needs of individual rehabilitees and for enhancing their competence, technical, methodological and social, in terms of present-day, wholistic rehabilitation. New approaches are being implemented, the vocational training centres opening up for new groups (such as one-parent families) and offering rehabilitation programmes on a non-residential basis as well. Further-training schemes have been devised to ensure that disabled people, too, have access to the current state-of-the-art. An indispensable part of vocational rehabilitation programmes also in the future, the Specialized Services of the vocational retraining centres are going to adapt to the changing situation as well.
