This article investigates which company structures and interests influence the acquisition of a type 1 vocational baccalaureate (VB 1), and by which incentives and restrictions of the VET system the latter is fostered or hampered. The decentralised negotiation of apprenticeship wages and the historical path dependency of the VB 1 in high-skilled occupations of the commercial and technical occupational fields are important incentives. The horizontal and vertical segmentation of VET programmes increases their heterogeneity, which leads to occupation-specific incentive structures. The effects within the respective occupational groups are calculated by employing a fixed effects model. The empirical analyses show that companies encourage type 1 vocational baccalaureates especially if they employ more than 50 people, operate in the service or technical sector, and if their share of staff with a tertiary-level qualification is high. These companies have a long-term demand for employees holding a tertiary level degree while, in a short-term perspective, they are in a position to keep the training of their VET apprentices cost-neutral. In general, however, the company effects are rather small. Nevertheless, the article raises the question to which VB 1 is also a viable option for capable and motivated learners in less demanding apprenticeships and / or smaller companies.
