BMW Production Plant At Leipzig With BMW M2 Competition & Frank-Walter Steinmeier – Video

Steinmeier is visiting the factory as part of a week-long series of events to highlight the country’s system of “dual job education,” which combines classroom-format education with practical, hands-on training.

Germany’s economy, which is heavily dependent on manufacturing, is currently strong with low unemployment and is facing a severe shortage of skilled labor. The problem is being compounded by a growing percentage of young Germans who are opting for a university education rather than vocational training.

Also present is the new 2019 BMW M2 Competition and BMW i8 Roadster.
