Abstract	Die vorliegende Doktorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit Personen, die in Brasilien das seit 1996 offiziell anerkannte deutsche duale Berufsbildungssystem durchlaufen (haben), welches vom IFPA (Instituto de Formação Profissional Administrativa) in São Paulo angeboten wird. Es wird untersucht, welche Bedingungen dazu geführt haben, dass die Personen sich für das deutsche System entschieden, und welchen Einfluss die deutsche Ausbildung auf deren späteres Berufsleben hat. [Zusammenfassung: Redaktion Bildung Weltweit]. The German dual system apprenticeship was adopted by the Instituto de Formação Profissional Administrativa (IFPA) School in Brazil, and has been recognized by the Brazilian government as a valid secondary level vocational education training (VET) program since 1996. This dissertation seeks to understand the conditions and mechanisms in the process that led former apprentices to undergo this German dual system, the analysis of the biography incumbents´ discernment and experience within this VET program, as well as the biographical impingements this educational modality had on one´s post-VET development. Therefore, this research was undertaken with the assistance of autobiographical narrative interviews, and has also employed the narrative analysis for interpretative purposes. Results have demonstrated that the process leading the biography incumbents to the IFPA School initiates with the incumbents´ primary post-high school educational aspiration, which is heavily influenced by one´s perception of a general structural duality present within the Brazilian educational system, the influence of significant others, as well as crucial event carriers. Yet, concatenations of superimposed impediments may hinder or deviate pre-established intentions regarding a primary post-high school vertical educational advancement. As a result, a second order decision making process initiates that is accompanied by several biographical side effects. It could be identified that the IFPA and its dual system apprenticeship work as very specific functional mechanisms and that not even the distinct structure of the German dual system was capable of overcoming the general structural duality present in the Brazilian educational system. Undergoing the German dual system was also a source of cognitive dissonance for the incumbents, based on incongruent perception-behavior regarding school track choice leading to the IFPA´s dual system apprenticeship within a second order choice in a horizontal post-high school educational advancement. Yet, the process of undergoing the IFPA´s dual system apprenticeship has demonstrated to be self-determining in the post-VET biographical impingements in the development of the incumbents, both professionally and educationally. Essentially, the vocational school apprenticeship has been the genesis for a continuation of an institutional expectation process in the biography of the former apprentices. (Orig.).
